Webster will probably come back and defend his choice in news
reader, regardless how borken it is.

I don't recall ever defending it,

I said you'd *probably come back here* and defend the crippled news
reader known as Windoze Live Mail. I didn't say that you DID defend it.

But it looks like it's such a good news reader, that it takes you a
month to discover when someone posts a reply to your post. So I don't
expect to see you again until October.

I simply use it because it's there and of my failure in
successfully trying other news readers.

You are either a boob or you haven't tried very hard.

I use Netscape Communicator 4.79 for reading news. It can be downloaded
from he

Sorry, but my system tells me that this is an incorrect link.
Yet, not to worry, I have it already on my machine, except for the
fact
that I have to set it up and provide my personal information, which
is
where I stalled...

Here's what the user-interface looks like:

Very fast and efficient and organized way to read and post to usenet.

A huge advantage of using a usenet client running on your own computer
is that a copy of every post you make is stored locally on your own
system - exactly the same way that copies of e-mail you send are stored
locally in a "sent" folder. When you want to search for something you
posted in the past, it's much faster to search your own local sent
folder than to use Google's incredibly broken usenet search interface to
search their usenet archive.
