At work I'm using Outlook 2000, and seriously, that's a wonderfull
piece of software. Unfortunately it takes a lot of work to make
Outlook more or less virus-resistant :-/
So at home I use IE 6 for browsing, Agent for newsgroups and Eudora
for email (not that Eudora is so special - but I've been using it
since the first release so it's more out of tradition :)
A newsreader that is really great for downloading many and/or large
binary files from usenet is Grabit. You can have multiple downloads
with Grabit, something you can't do with Agent afaik. Get it from
www.cnet.com, it's free.
And it's not your dumbness - OE is really a piece of ***to use for
newsgroups :)
