  Which newsreader? (Message 1 to 10 of 10)

I have switched from Outlook Express to Outlook 2000.  I am actually much 
happier with Outlook as a mail client and PIM, but it does not function as a 
newsreader.

I have tried 2 freeware Win 2000 newsreaders but they both have problems.  I 
like Sophax but when I open image attachments, Sophax makes local graphics 
files and then never erases them.  Sort of silly don't you think?

Anyhow since I read the binary groups here, can anyone suggest a good 
newsreader for Win 2K?

Thanks,
Hershel

I installed it and have already used it, but I'm too lazy to read the
manual. That means I don't know how to get it to synchronize all groups I'm
subscribed to.  No.... no need to answer it if you have to search for the
solution too just to answer me   :-)

Nice... Buggered if I can work out how to work it tho... Hard to tell if
it's really that complicated or whether I'm just not used to it!

Other alternative I guess is for me to learn NNTP and write my own
newsreader! (Which... is... er... how Xnews came to be! Or so it seems...)

Thanks.
Andrew.

PS. This thread comes up so often it should be in an FAQ somewhere! lol

It takes a little getting used too.  Very different approach than OE.  It 
was worth it for me to stick it out through the learning curve.

Agreed.

Not necessarily a bad thing ;-)
