Since this is my first day using a news reader, I downloaded MesNews after reading Karl's post. It's awesome! So rather than learning to use OE's news group features I'll go with MesNews immediately.

But, almost always, it's there somewhere! Of course, *any* real newsreader just beats the living he11 out of *any* web interface. Count on it. :-) -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org

(Maybe someday when the author get enough donations..) The web help is not referring to elements in the version I just downloaded, so I guess there'll be an update to the webpage eventually. Geez.., and I thought OE was way better than the web interface so you can imagine how impressed I am with this app!

Geez.., and I thought OE was way better than the web > interface so you can imagine how impressed I am with this app! I was frustrated as I could be at the so called "help" initially. Almost to the point of giving up on it. Ultimately, it all came together. -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org |
