I know. If my interpretation of your post is correct, you
indicate that Opera is not particularly designed for Usenet, as
it adds the function as a feature of the Email client. Therefore
it is less desirable.
I don't know anything about Opera. I have no idea whether it does a
wonderful or terrible job with usenet.
However the same applies to Thunderbird. So I don't understand
why you suggested this as a Usenet client to switch to when, as
I posted, there is a range of free Newsreaders to choose from.
There are many products that combine email and usenet clients. But
again, I don't use Thunderbird and don't know whether it's wonderful,
terrible or something in between. It's a free email/usenet client and
lots of people use it and like it.

Tim I useing Outlook Express for Win98


I can't speak for Opera. From what little experience I have, Thunderbird
is acceptable for usenet. And Outlook Express is a lot better than some
people make out: I'd seriously consider it if only because of the
likelihood of finding someone else if you have problems (less so now
it's getting long in the tooth, I suppose). I'd add OE-Quotefix, mind.
