Cuz morons like you keep cross-posting!

This thread was originally in RFC. Yes, I'm a "moron", too, as I also
missed the cross-post (which I seldom do). In my defense, this is a new
newsreader, for me. I'm used to Linux. This W10 crap is frustrating.

W10 is CRAP!! Everything INCLUDED the Kitchen Sink! :-(

As if WinXP Pro was not enough! :-(

I've been trying to figure out which newsreader to put on Win10, so why does
Thunderbird aggravate you if you don't mind me asking.

For one thing, it does NOT KF on one word. Gotta include the entire

Doesn't tell how many posts are in a given thread (like slrn does).

Doesn't do a forward/back "author" or "subject" search. If it does, I
don't know how to fly it.

I've tried 40Tude and Xananews, on W10. Didn't like either.

I have simple needs with a newsreader too, but don't want to bother with
setting up a program that has a bunch of bells and whistles, there must be a
simple one somewhere.

I wouldn't use anything that's no longer being developed. It can be

I know, I feel that more with Win10, I don't hate it, but it has a
ridiculous amount of bells and whistles IMO.

For that reason, I'd use something mainstream that many people use.
Rather than something obscure and unfinished or experimental that
hasn't been supported since 2012. I'd use Thunderbird if I didn't
already use that for email.

I've been using Agent with Win 10 for years, never a problem.
After the initial cost of $30 they bill be $2.95/month... at 10¢ a day
for hassle free it's well worth it.... and I don't even use all it
does.

You pay $2.95 a month for Agent? After the initial cost? What kind of
crazy deal is that? Are you sure it's not for your subscription to the
Crystal Palace Newsletter?

I used Agent when they still offered Free Agent! NO bells or whistles, just a good basic newsreader!

Then they YANKED Free Agent! **** 'EM! Back to Google Groups! :-(

He probably meant he pays $2.95 per month to apn, a newsreader
developed by Agent.

That's not true. You can set up a filter to "contain" part of an email
address or even entire domains if you want to.

If he clicked on the little squiggly line up top, next to the star,

I have simple needs too. I guess Thunderbird does not have those
functions that notbob is looking for, but I guess the evolution of the
reader never saw a need for it and it never occurred to me, so I see no
real need for it. I just find it easy to use because I have stuck to
similar readers for years and I am comfortable with it. Filters are easy
to set up and fairly effective. I think one filter I could see value in
is on that filters out the replies to the people in my filters.

I have a bunch of people and subjects filtered by containing parts of
the sender or subject. Some exceptionally pathetic losers have been hard
to get rid of, but I eventually managed. The few that get by don't take
long to give themselves away. When they get really manic and change
daily or hourly they tend to get carried away. In the case of those
losers it is not even worth filtering because they will be back with a
new name in minutes, so you can simply ignore every new username that
pops up.

I know. It was the early 1990's when I was in engineering school and my first Co-op job employer had just implemented Win 3.1 on PCs and I LOVED IT! Drag and drop copy/move, and the system copy buffer was cool!

Then MicroSUCKS began improving it to death! Went through a number of crappy "upgrades" and would not even ADMIT Windows(R) was just a shell program running on DOS because it WAS! And we all knew it too! Until Win NT and them even better WinXP Pro which I am still using!

Thunderbird works well for me. Took me a while the first install,
mostly because my ISP (comcast) didn't know what port numbers I should
use to connect to a newsserver. They'd never heard of Usenet or news
servers. LOL

As for no longer developed? Don't know wrote wrote that comment. I'm
using T-bird v. 52.7.0. They are still releasing updates. If you click
on Help you'll see what version you're running. There's a button to
click if you want to check for updates.

I'm pretty sure Thunderbird can do all the things nb wants.

I like the Mark All Read and Mark Thread Read options, and there are
also a number of Add Ons to further get Thunderbird to work the way
you want.

I use those options frequently. I just clicked (as I mentioned) Check
for Upgrades. Now I'm running v. 52.9.1. And there is a link for
release notes. So someone is keeping up with this Mozilla product.
Just as they're maintaining Firefox as a browser.

That's an odd comment to me. Why not use TB for both? I do on my
laptop. Both programs are separated nicely. Only a moron would
accidently post one to the other.

wait... that's Brice. Or is it Bruce or Bruise or Bruze or whatever
interations of that name. Thunderbird filter capabilities are great.
Ditto with the email addresses and domains.

They don't have any choice. And Windows works well, over all.

That's a strange thing to ask your ISP if they don't supply the Usenet
server. I can believe it took you a long time to get it to work.

Nobody said Thunderbird isn't being developed anymore.

Nobody said otherwise. I didn't know dumb and dumber could be the same
person.

I smoke it when I am in Colorado, and would love to see it legalized in Texas, but that will probably never happen. Texans like beer and whiskey, they like to get drunk and beat their partners up, go out in the streets and drive till that have a wreck, the only thing I have seen from smoking a joint is a happy mood. I would not drive after smoking tho.
