[SLE] Sick of Netscape Messenger
Hello, I am extremely sick of using Messenger for news. My current problem is no matter what I do when I reply to a news article it does not quote the original messenge. Earlier Netscape crashed on me when I was about to post a message and after that I no longer get the previous article quoted. It works fine when I log into other accounts but even if I delete every Netscape related item from my home directory and set it up again this behaviour still exists. I barely use Netscape for web browsing, I've been mostly using kfm for the web, I would never use Netscape for mail cuz I use Pine, but Netscape was the only client I semi-liked for news. I tried krn but it is pretty featureless. Are there any good gui news readers? If not, what are suggestions for text news readers? Pine isn't going to work for me for news. Tin, slrn, trn???

I only use slrn. I find it fast and once you delete the item it doesn't show up again unless you look for it.

Don't ask me! I use strn. :) (If anyone knows of another reader that does scoring and virtual groups like strn I'd _gladly_ change over.) -John Greg Thomas said:

Hello all, I did download Pan again after being reminded about it on this list. The new version does work quite well and is very attractive for those who like that sorta thing. I used it for about 4 hours and it just hummed along and did it's job. just my 0.02 John Grant wrote:
