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.

From what I see a lot of the changes in W-7 were not for the better. Now MS
doesn't even give us an email/Usenet client. WLM is installed by HP before
they sell their PCs. Have you tried moving OE6 to your W-7 PC? It would
have to go into the (x86) folder.
