I'm asking your inputs on your choices of software for POP3 email revice/send with editor that quotes previous messages. Must work to include CRs at end of each line to avoid those annoying one long liners and remodify "formatting" within 80 columns automatically when editing. For newsgroups reader/poster program, I like to do one key or two keys to jump subscribed groups, subjects and messages, skip, tag or untag to read messages. Free Agent does not meet few cases for example: when read it should erase itself after few days and prevent reading read messages again. I had similar thing kind in NewsXpress before but that junk software broke even with newwer version it didn't work right since. To be honest, I love the NewsXpress program interface type and keyboard commands, very sensible. I would like to find one that is "approved" newsgrioup programs and I heard that both NewsXpress and Free Agent are not on that list. Why? Wants to put them on older machines for DOS, Linux (later when I get the downloads collected) and for win95sux. All for working with network TBase2 TP network. The biggest reason for all, ease of use. Doesn't matter if that is easily understood commands or some learning but learnable if I know this software is worth having for long learning curve. All for that sake of making reading efforts easier.:-) Text that I find in many fonts that my friend gave me is not good enough and look ugly and very squrinty even at points 12, 14 (yuk) on windows, pixels or that junk even at larger font size. BTW all of this colors are yellow on black and I tried so many colour combinations and not found one other than this. Okay reading black text on white but this is "too bright" sometimes. white on blue doesn't work well in GUI but excellent in CLI mode and ditto for CLI mode following this setup: green on black, and light grey on black or yellow on black worked well for texts but for menu based I customize.
