Handles nicely. Quick set up.


I use it on my Linux box. generally good, with a few exceptions. The
filtering for the newsgroups isn't very good. The search function to
find specific posters sometimes doesn't work correctly, in that the
subject frame is skewed off screen by a few posters. Once in a while, a
long message won't scroll properly all the way to the bottom.

These things may well be confined to the Linux version only, I don't know.


Not my experience, at all. Especially filtering cleans up nearly all
the noise in the newsgroups.


Mac and Windows.
