Now for the biggy! Determining which email program to use, one that has
full NG capability. NOT just a reader!! So disappointed to find out
OEClassic NG is just that, a reader. They say they will make it so people
can post in it but that'll be down the road, sorry don't want to wait for
whatever. Silver Slimer mentioned 2 programs, TB and Opera Mail. However,
said TB is a resource hog like FF. And do I know that!! I know people who
use TB & love it, never any problems. At least I was able to see what it
looks like & how it function. But if anything like how FF behaved I'm
not to
sure about it, if I want to deal with that nightmare again. I have no
idea
about Opera Mail, don't know anyone who has it. I did some checking saw
some
pictures of it, looks okay. Couldn't find much details though. If I were
to
go towards Opera Mail I would have to download their browser also right?
Can
someone please give me their opinion on that? On both if you don't
mind. I
need to make a decision soon for I am suppose to give my old pc to my
grand
daughter, she's about to hand me my head if I don't fairly soon.
Another question if you don't mind. Lets say I chose one don't like it &
want to try the other how difficult would it be to delete it? Is there a
chance it could mess up my new computer if I do that?
I also like to say since this doesn't pertain to this NG topic, don't
want
to get anyone mad, to contact me through email instead.
Thanks everyone!

I'm using Opera Mail myself and have gotten used to it since migrating
from Thunderbird. It loads fast, uses a modest amount of resources and the
filters work correctly (unlike Thunderbird). In fact, it gives you a
larger amount of default filtering options than Thunderbird does which I
believe is essential if you want to remove cross-posted articles from your
favourite newsgroup. The only problem I found with it is a complete lack
of plugins. This is necessary for me as I would love to have the option of
using Enigmail + GnuPG to encrypt my email but it's not a must-have
feature considering that absolutely no one I communicate with bothers to
encrypt their communications.
