In other words, trade one set of bugs and security holes for a
completely different set... As if XP didn't screw up enough
applications to prevent them from working, I hate to think how many
additional ones that Vista have screwed up...

That's why I use Agent 4.x for USENET and e-mail (at home anyway). Works like a charm.
Of course, I have yet to install it on Vista, but I'm confident it will work.

I use Agent on one of my machines... It's not perfect... It doesn't do
everything that I want, but neither do any of the other newsreaders
out there... I have installed different newsreaders on different
machines in the hope that I would encounter one of them that did
*everything* that I want... No such luck... Pan is pretty good
though...
