Interesting Thread.

I am by no means a heavy newsgroup user; I also have found OE to be easy
to use and (mostly) adequate for my purposes.

Due to that "mostly", I have invested some effort into exploring other
options and also use Thunderbird. Due to the fact that I first learned
newsgroups on OE I find some of the user interface uncomfortable ... but
I suspect that had I started with Thunderbird instead of OE it would be
more comfortable.

For me, the biggest roadblock to investigating an actual newsreader is
simply lack of available time.

Right now, I actually use Outlook, Thunderbird, and OE for different
purposes -- and have different newsgroups subscribed in OE and
Thunderbird.

If you haven't looked at Thunderbird it could well be worth your while
to check it out.

I agree.

Outlook Express 6 suits me just fine for both mail and newsgroups...

But it's being deliberately obsoleted...

And Microsoft seems incapable at present of replacing it with software
of the same calibre.

WLM just doesn't measure up -- and is riddled with bugs.

Thanks.

So, which newsreader do you use?

Personally, whatever the "die-hard" news addicts may tell you. I find
Outlook Express/Windows mail perfectly adequate for the task...
