Must be a good piece of software since you still use it although it
doesn't work :)

What can it do that's fantastic?

Everybody has one. (like the other thing that I won't write here)

Mine is this:
GUI for news reader is evil.

One place where slrn runs and ssh from anywhere/any device is my approach.

Based on what you wrote, you're saying that Thunderbird
can't be used as a newsreader because it's an email client?


Anyway ... you've obviously *never* checked my headers :)

I want people to read what I typed. Having the posts mangled means that
the readers are less likely to want to read my posts and so the extra
effort on my part makes it easier for the many other readers.

Had. By turning off the word wrapping, I don't have that issue any
more. The software still has that problem, but doesn't actually show it
to me or the world when I post.

I think it might be a idea to make a bug report about it. There's now
several recent posts in Googles archive to draw upon, and if required
I can quite easily post some test messages and replies[0] to provide
even more examples.

That looks like another bug report that needs to be filed.

I've seen it happen with Kmail as well, when KWallet is unavailable for
some reason. And, no, I haven't filed bug reports about that either. At
least, not yet.
