I'm using Agent for newsgroups, and Outlook10 for mail. Agent seems
to have greater functions than the others, and Outlook10 muchthe same.

Add the new server "news.mozilla.com" to your news reader...

I use the same two programs you do, and second your recommendation of
both.

No that I of but there is nothing to discuss about newsreaders because
there aren't very many around these days. Thunderbird and WLM 2009 are
the only ones that are considered reasonably good but apart from that,
you can get very old ones that are no longer developed for current
operating systems.
In any case, newsgroups are no longer supported by the likes of
Microsoft, Google , Adobe and Yahoo and so unless you are into porn,
games and gay weddings, there is no need to use any readers because
forums have taken over the support systems.

May I say just one word "Nuts" to forums. The amount i've gotten in the
last few weeks from those things is negligible.

Maybe someone else here could look at it for you or you could set up
the Mozilla server and see if anyone at mozilla.support.thunderbird
could help you.
The Mozilla server is news.mozilla.org. Since it's a private server
you'll have to log on to it to post to the newsgroup.

An accurate assessment.
To get answers about T'Burp set up news.mozilla.com as a server and
then log on to mozilla.support.thunderbird, that's where the T'Burp
experts hang out including the folks who created the only news client
that's actually WORSE than OE! <GD&R>

You may say whatever you want but Forums are the way top companies haveJames said:
decided to go. So you can rely on dwindling unofficial newsgroups like
this one or start getting used to Forums. If you have noticed WindowsXP
General newsgroup gets about 25 messages a day of which majority are
repeats and nothing to do with Windows XP. Now XP may be a dying breed
but Windows 7 newsgroup (this one) isn't particularly busy filled with
technical details. I remember when Microsoft used to have its own
newsgroups, WindowsXP-General used to get about 1000 messages a day all
full of technical details.
Anyway, I am not here to convince anybody to change overnight because I
also like using newsgroups but I do use Microsoft Forums on
SmallBusinesses and free websites, bing, Expression etc but they are my
interests these days because I have nearly completed college and about
to start my own business.

The number of existing newsreaders has nothing at all to do with how

Irrelevant. The age of the newsreader has nothing to do with how

Wrong. There are still hundreds of active groups about topics other

letter, so for example you would have used "ews.software.readers" and it
would show in the results.
