It split into two. There's a browser based on Chrome, and a newsreader/mail
client called "M2" which used to be part of the browser.

Playing with it now... does not seem to let me select text and respond to
just that... have to hit reply and then delete what I do not want,


It will do that fine (in the windows version anyway). I highlight any text,
then press reply. Only that text is quoted, the rest disappears.


Might be a setting somewhere?

and even then have to be very careful to select the front of a line.


Not sure what you mean there.


Say I am selecting the start of line 10... if I am too far to the left it
selects from the very top of the post. Have to position my mouse very
carefully before the text.

Also does not
let me open the saved searches in their own windows, but I can live without
that (seems fast enough at going back and forth).


Dunno what you mean by "saved searches".


Do a search and click "save" -- I have a lot of these, with rules such as
contains word Snit, is unread, is not from Snit, is not in such-and-such
threads, etc.

But Opera handles this reasonably well. I like to be able to have them in
their own floating windows which it does not allow (that I saw) but hardly a
deal-breaker. It does show a count of messages in the search. That is fine.

Also does not have colors in responses, only in reading.


Agreed, although I've never needed them in reading. I find the number of is
enough for me.


I prefer the colors... helps to keep track. DOES have them in reading, just
not replying.

But only used it for a few moments... maybe there are ways to fix that? Does
seem to have a good basic look and it easy to use.


I like the killfile and filter options the most. Easy to use and able to
filter on all sorts.


Similar to what I am used to and does work well.

For example I've set up a folder which contains all posts made in reply to me
or thereafter. I can respond to those first before looking elsewhere.


Sounds like a saved search. And it allows for looking at headers my current
one does not. That would be a BIG advantage to what I have.

And I can killfile people and any replies to them. Some newsreaders are
incapable of both of those things, as they won't look at the body of the
message.


Mine does not handle the replies... so it clearly had benefits I would use,
but is quirky enough I doubt I will move to it. Will certainly give it a
shot -- like it more, I think, than I did Thunderbird.

Even if I do not move to it thanks for pointing me to it.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot
use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow
superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
