: D. St-Sanvain a écrit : Some statistics about the group. Number of messages, by name of the news reader. And by year. Besides the number of messages (on my computer) posted by which news reader, the previous charts shows that the number of messages decreases.... (For the first years, it's because I do not store old messages infinitely). This one show in %. I put Mozilla and Thunderbird together. OE is decreasing, we see Windows Mail arriving, and goind down, as Live mail appears. XNews is regularly increasing. So are "Others" (autres + groupe 1 autres). Forte Agent and Mozilla seems regular (with two years not so good) Make your choice -- D520 Light aviation : http://tagazous.free.fr Roundels of the World : http://cocardes.monde.online.fr/v2html/en/accueil.html |

i too fell into the MS trap and downloaded in the middle of a load of
updates WLM 2011 what an absolute load of tosh i too wanted out of the sad new world and found that i could restore my pc to before the dreaded leech came in. I now have the previous WLM running with all my newsgroups happy bunnies again. It did play havoc with Norton firewall but they soon sorted me out. and breathe cheers snowed in Mike "Bill & Ange" wrote in message ... The only alternative is to go through another browser like Firefox. I've got Windows 7 on my laptop and hate trying to go through the Live mail to get to the newsgroups. There are some stand-alones that you can access, but I haven't checked them out myself yet. "Indrek Aaviso" wrote in message ... I have used Windows Live Mail for a while and it handled binary newsgroups reasonably well. i.e. click on a message and the message and any contained picture would pop up. Now the geniuses at Microsoft have come up with an "improved" version of WLM. This requires me to double click on a message to bring up a thumbnail image and I then have to double click on the thumbnail to bring up Windows Photo Viewer so that I can actually see the image properly. After that, unless I want myriad sessions of WPV running, I have to close the viewer and close the thumbnail pane to begin the whole rigmarole once more for the next image. Mumble, chunter, grumble...... There does not seem to be an easy way to revert to the previous version of WLM Am I being ultra-dense, or is there an alternative?

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. |

@newsfe10.iad: Switch to Eudora. I did Wow, I didn't know Eudora was still around! I remember it as an email client. I used the early version of it in the 80s! My next move (in the early 90s) was into Xnews. Haven't needed to do anything else regarding Usenet for 20 years. Haven't had to fight the "yEnc Wars" with the MS Nuthouse Express users. Xnews just deals with it. |

Wow, I didn't know Eudora was still around! I remember it as an email client. I used the early version of it in the 80s! Overheard in another group, it has become sort of a Thunderbird clone/chimera [QUOTED TEXT] it will still look like Eudora, but the internals will be based on the Thunderbird code, and it will be free and open source. Here's the Qualcomm press release: http://www.qualcomm.com/press/releas...n_mozilla.html -- 09=IX |
