Welcome to the TB club. I, like you, tried WLM with Win7, but found
it too unreliable, as it frequently failed to post. IMO it wasn't as
good as OE6 under XP. And if MS isn't going to fix the "show
previous post" issue (ie it doesn't show anything, even a "" for
previous text), that makes it unusable. Remember also that MS has no
interest in Usenet news now - it prefers its own forums where it
has full control.

TB isn't perfect, but it is better than WLM.

Me three. What I really wanted was OE6, but the closest proximity I
could find is TB 2. It has the added advantage of being available in a
portable version.

I find myself sticking to older versions with a lot of programs.
