This may prove interesting reading. Some people treat newsreaders like a
religion:

A long page, but worth it. You need to know what you're getting into.
That said, anything is better than a Web based newsreader.

- - ? OE ?

- Outlook Express!

- BDK

OK - I new "OS" for Operating System and "MS" for
MicroSoft; along with "IE" for Internet Explorer so now
we have "OE" for OutLook Express.

Sorry, I deal with OE madness every day, and didn't even consider that
someone couldn't know what OE meant. It's a unique program. Nothing else
I know of can lose passwords, uncheck and check boxes, and the thing
that makes me shake my head the most, change all the account settings to
ones years old, all by itself at random.

Why anyone wants to, or would use it for anything other than email, is
beyond me.
