May 20, 2005 OT: Recomnended News Clients | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Besides being new to D, I'm also quite new to newsgroups. I'de like to
ask to the community for some newsgroups readers recommendantions, since
I've become a bit unsatisfied with the ones I've tried (Outlook Express
and ThunderBird).
There were various things I didn't like, just to name some: I started
with Outlook Express but I didn't find a way to define a signature for
my posts (!), nor did I find a way to see only the new/unread posts.
Then in ThunderBird, the Unread posts view didn't support threaded view,
and when I made a reply to a post with an text-file attachment... it
inlined the attachment in the reply, (WTH ?).
Thx.

I'm using thunderbird, can't see anything wrong with it. I honestly don't think you can get anything better than it. (I specially like the smilies ;) and the *bold* _underlined_ /italic/ formatting. It's just neat overall.
Anyway, for unread posts, I just look for threads where the title is Bold (new thread) or underlined (new posts in the thread).
As for inlining text atachments, I don't know what's up with that, but this happens with all email clients I know, even gmail's web based client does that :/

Posted in reply to Bruno Medeiros | You may wish to try Opera, which includes a newsgroup reader. In the latest version, it's got a good number of features the other's don't, and many people seem to like it.
I use Thunderbird myself, but... well, it's not perfect. The attachment thing is just because it will show attachments at the end - I think you can turn it off, either in options or about:config.

Pan is great. The kde newsreader is also quite good. Both of those are on linux, though.
On windows, I use thunderbird. While it does the job, I don't consider it as good as pan. There are a few features on it that annoy me; but it's free, so being too picky is rather unproductive.
Another (free) newsreader I've tried on windows is Super Gravity. It's quite comprehensive and feature rich; but for some reason, I don't like it very much. Others might like to try it out, though.

To view with threading, go to View - Threads, and select the option you want. (With Thunderbird)
