OutLook Express Suck with my Dell 4700 Dimension Desk Top PC.

Note - I have set-up Outlook Express three times and
when I log-on the next time it does not work.

FREE ? -or- FEE ?

What News Reader Are You Using for Usenet ? and Why ?

Because that's what comes with Firefox. Because it looks nice and works
like greased lightning.

FO&A,

OK so this Post here is being done with ThunderBird using FireFox.

Can I use ThunderBird directly with Internet Explorer ?

FWIW - ThunderBird is not as easy as using Google Groups.

Google Groups allows me to see the entire Message Thread in the Tree
format and follow the flow of the exchange of Ideas and Information better.

At least this is better than OutLook Express.

Wondering Why - Yahoo DSL never came up with their own News Client
Reader and Poster ? - Vice letting their subscribers using the MS
OutLook Express.

Thunderbird or Netscape News has thread view; just click on the
rectangular bubble icon to the left of the "Subject" bar in the
title pane.

Yes you can. Set Internet preferences to use Thunderbird as the default
mail/newsreader.

Thunderbird is only an e-mail client and news reader. Firefox, and
Internet Explorer are browsers. They don't require each other to work.

If you're talking about links in an e-mail using Thunderbird opening
in IE, yes. Click on a link in Thunderbird, and it will open in whatever
is set as your default browser.

On my IBM notebook, for instance, clicking on a link in Thunderbird
e-mail, or a USENet messag, will open up the default browser K-Meleon.
No fuss, no muss.

On my Macs, I've gotten T-bird to play nice with Safari, FireFox,
Camino and Opera.

But you don't need any specific browser, or any browser at all, to
use Thunderbird.
