Hi there.
I was hoping some-one could advise me as to whether there is a good
newsreader with a killfile. Presently I have been favouring the layout
of google, but I would like to change. Could anyone recommend a nice
easy-to-learn newsreader?

I do quite like thunderbird, and have learnt to set it up myself, but
was a little disappointed by its apparent disability to thread posts,

To thread posts in Thunderbird, select

View -> Sort by -> Threaded

Each newsgroup has its own setting, so some groups can be set
to "Threaded" while other groups may be set to "Unthreaded".


although I suppose there is always the search function.
I don't much like outlook express either, but maybe I'm being to picky?
