So why not post it Forte Agent. Does mail too, really well, except no HTML. I don't regard that as a shortcoming... -- Gary Woods O- K2AHC Public keys at www.albany.net/~gwoods, or get 0x1D64A93D via keyserver fingerprint = E2 6F 50 93 7B C7 F3 CA 1F 8B 3C C0 B0 28 68 0B |

Marie in LosAngeles. I like an oldie called NewsXpress. It is free. Easy to setup. You can easily operate it from the keyboard. Threads are much easier than in Free Agent or Outlook. It is old but the interface is easy to use. -- Charles Indifference = Consent |

Forte Agent. Does mail too, really well, except no HTML.
I don't regard that as a shortcoming... I use the free copy (free agent). downloadable from thier web site (i think).... doesn't do the web stuff (as mentioned) but that's fine with me. I keep outlook express setup, and if there is anything web-wise I REALLY want to see, i look there.... just my two bits.... email: daveallyn at bwsys dot net please respond in this NG so others can share your wisdom as well! |

There are others but tend to be specially written ones for customers of ISP`s. Other os`s i cant possibly comment -- email farmer chris on Please don`t use as it`s a spam haven. |

Marie in LosAngeles. Sure. Agent, free or registered. Free Agent does newsgroups, but not email, and does not have killfile capability. Registered Agent does both - and superbly, IMNSHO, and does have killfile capability. Registered Agent costs $29 and has a 30-day free trial period. Both are available at: http://www.forteinc.com . It's a whole different experience than spit Outlook Express spit. Pat |

Netscape (4.77) worked fine for me until I started using multiple servers. Then I tried Free Agent and Gravity. Both are good, but I preferred Gravity - I don't even remember the reason, so there must not have been much difference. I'm on Netscape 7.2 and it handles multiple servers just fine. 7.1 did too. I don't remember how the 6.x versions did with it. Why in the world are you all the way back at 4.xx??? -- Steve |
