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

I copied this from the Microsoft WLM newsgroup:


Windows Live Essentials 2009
- For XP SP2, Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008
- Direct download Links:
Full Version Installer English Language version
http://g.live.com/1rewlive3/en/wlsetup-all.exe

"IE could not download the file, the server was reset"


Web Version Installer – English Language Version
http://g.live.com/1rewlive3/en/wlsetup-web.exe

Saved the site to install on Win7 laptops later (Using WinXP ATM)

Thank you

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

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.

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?

Cheers,

Indrek Aavisto

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.

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.

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
