I use Thunderbird (from Firefox) - it's great compared to OE; hasn't

Thunderbird reads groups just as well as OE.
I would not regard that as an endorsement. Just about anything reads
groups better than OE.
All the complaints about multi-part messages, yenc, and all other
modern practices come from people who think OE is a news reader.
Thanks Auld Phart.
Been begging them for years to get real newsreaders. But most insist
on making MicroSoft richer for doing nothing. Honest newsreaders
would've cut down 85% of the little wars that break out in here from
time to time.
One of the last wars went on for months... tiring, very tiring.
