Hi,
    Has anyone tried XNews? (http://www.racesimcentral.net/)  It is a free
newsreader for windows and has a lot of nice features.

Later,
John

Netscape is able to put the threads together perfectly, too.

the thing I like about Netscape's newsreader over Outlook is
that pressing "k" makes a thread totally and utterly disappear
for now and forever, which is great for getting rid of all
those threads you don't want to see :)

Outlook has the same thing except it's called 'Ignore Conversation'.  I'm
not sure how it works but this conversation is now being ignored.  :-)
