I don't do newer versions in Linux. When it comes down the repository
pike, I'll upgrade. I've got it on my Windows boxes too and TB3 is
pretty cool.

You're right, it's not too bad. I prefer OE6 on XP and WLM on Win7 myself. I
tried TB for a few weeks, but never could get the newsreader to display like
I wanted it to (or, probably more correctly, like I was used to), so I
dumped it and went back to WLM. I know there are separate programs for each,
but I kinda like the "all in one place" concept.

OE6 SP2 from WinXP SP2 is that *last version* and was replaced by Windows Mail in Vista
(basically, the same program).

I found the news reader in TB to be superior to OE. I have never tried
WLM on any OS. What is it you wanted to do that OE could do and TB couldn't?

I have found that using Fidolook in conjunction with OE6 overcomes most of OE's
short-comings.

You'll see in my header...
