Thunderbird has a few annoying quirks - most especially, the broken 
threading bug which has existed since Thunderbird was part of the 
"Mozilla suite" yet still hasn't been fixed. (Or rather, Bugzilla claims 
it *has* been fixed, and that to fix it you need to do a complex 
sequence of configuration changes... which never actually work.)

The annoyance of the spell checker never working seems to be gone now, 
so that's something. I also wish quoting was a little less 
unpredictable, but hey.

Unfortunately, the only other newsreader for Windows that I know of is 
Outlook Express. Obviously, this sucks like hell.
