Thunderbird
Slightly off-topic here. But anybody started using the Thunderbird
email/news client yet? I'm just starting to get used to it now. It seems to format the messages on email & Usenet better, however it lacks the multipart message support that OE has. There doesn't seem to be too much that's missing in it that OE had. I'm already defaulted on Firefox on the browser side of things. Yousuf Khan |

Yousuf Khan I been using TBird for about a year now, and long before that I was using the all-in-one Mozilla that TBird and FireFox split off from. There is no capability to handle multipart messages yet, so I use XNews for the binaries newsgroups. A few "Request for Enhancement" (RFE) entries about the multipart issue are in BugZilla.

Been using it for about a year now. Works quite well for me. I don't have much need for combine & decode, so that's not really an issue for me. The only real issues I have with it a 1) rare crash on setting a message label: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220959 2) a very tiny number of groups won't load completely for me: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=252000 Neither of which is really enough to dissuade me from using it. -WD |

The stuff I dont like is the way Thunderbird handle passwords for example to access a news server, it really really sucks ! What I love is that you can see smiley icons instead off keyboard sign ;-) Can you see me ! |

I'm already defaulted on Firefox on the browser side of things. Yousuf Khan I you manage to create signature to had at the end of email just tell me how to do so !! Create small text files containing the desired signatures. I use plural because you might want different signatures for different mail accounts or news servers. Next go into the settings for each mail and news server and point it to the desired sig file for that account. Use Tools|Account Settings, select an account from the left side of the window, and then check "Attach this signature" in the lower right side of the window - and use the obvious button to browse to one of the sig files you previously made. The stuff I dont like is the way Thunderbird handle passwords for example to access a news server, it really really sucks ! And your previous mail/news app ( OE ? ) is better in what way ? What I love is that you can see smiley icons instead off keyboard sign ;-) Can you see me ! I'd set the follow-up to a TBird newsgroup, but setting follow-ups or crossposts to groups on a different server doesn't seem to be allowed. -- BOYCOTT GOOGLE !

IE is the first thing that went here, still on the fence with OE vs. Thunderbird so far. The email handling is definitely much better in Tbird; but newsgroup handling is still not quite. Wish they'd introduce the adaptive Junk mail filter for newsgroups, and wish they'd give you the chance to download all of the new headers in newsgroups ahead of time. Yousuf Khan |

What I love is that you can see smiley icons instead off keyboard sign ;-) Can you see me ! Yes, but I used to be using OEQuotefix with OE before, and that too allowed the smileys to be translated into pictures. For example, when I post this article, TB handles the formatting properly in this article itself. I hope this translates into /italics/, this into *bold*, and this into _underline_. I don't know what this is going to translate into ~blah~. Yousuf Khan |

Well, on my PC I trash both IE and OE immediately, but my daughter maintains that IE works best for the silly kid's sites she frequents, so she still uses IE. |

I have a tough time convincing kids not to simply accept files from anyone especially from people they chat with on IM networks. The other day a friend's daughter came running down from her room, all agitated, thinking her computer's been infected with a virus when she accepted a file called funny.exe from somebody on MSN! It was easy enough to get rid of but they never learn. Yousuf Khan |
