Why is OE not a good news reader? It downloads just fine? What makes it a
not good news reader?

OE's major flaw is that it's one of the least secure news readers
available. But if you keep your machine up to date, you should have few
problems, if any. Just set your Windows Update to automatic. That should
take care of most potential problems. And get a 3rd party anti-virus and
firewall, Microsoft's offerings are not IMO worth having, even as "free"
programs.

The fact that OE can't decode yEnc posts is not a flaw.
