Does Microsoft still do outlook express for windows 7.........?

Where is the FM for Thunderbird?

news.mozilla.org, it's a private server, you'll need to set up your
newsreader for that server, then look for the group:
mozilla.support.thunderbird

 

[XS11E]

That *is* the problem -- it's a program, and it can't be installed
in the standard Windows 7 location for programs.

Nor can any other program that needs access to Windows protected
files. Not a problem at all.

That's not the only problem, of course. The editor is annoying,
and there were plenty of other problems too. The incompatibility
with Windows 7 was the last straw for me.

It's not incompatible, regardless of your opinion.

Hi Leon Manfredi

Believe me when I say that Agent is by far, the best reader.
Even the earlier versions as far back as1.xx..... were highly praised.
I still have ver. 2.0 on another box....

Well, I dont agree with You, I never liked it much, but in the old
days it was the best for downloading binary newsgroups, so I used it.;-)


Best regards

Oh yes I did.....and nothing worked. There was nada under
View-Thread-Unread that I could see. I may be a novice with T-bird,
Sunshine, but I am not a novice with OE.

Hmm... you mean yours didn't show this:

Look at this post. See how it looks like you said the paragraph starting
with "Yes, I agree"?

Do not post to USENET with WLM2011,
====================================

OK so I (maybe) messed up separating quotes from my reply.
I did try. I just wasn't good enough for you, or you didn't like -- or
didn't understand -- the way I did it.

No. WLM 2011 is BROKEN. It does NOT post properly.

I uninstalled it a few days ago, but that is the area I was trying to
find the way to hide the read messages........perhaps I misunderstood
it?? And the Help file was of no help.

And I had no idea why I had 300,000 kb of unseen emails. I saw that when
I did a backup with Clickfree and went into WE to find the file. I had
done an import of OE and set up my ISP and Eternal-September, so it must
have been messed up somehow with that.

Thanks Roy.......Heather

Exact same screwed up situation happened here also when I tried it out.
As fast as I installed Thunderbird it is as fast that I uninstalled it

Thanks Peter........glad to know I am not alone re Thunderbird. I never
did like Agent (in the good old days), so not quite sure which way I will
go with Windows 7. Probably get rid of WLM and either just use Yahoo
webmail or get the older version of WLM. Or use this computer for ng's
and the new one for the rest.

I hate change!! (G) Getting too old for it!!

Cheers.....Heather

Where is the FM for Thunderbird? Its "Help" system is one of the biggest
barriers tho' I have learned to use it some. In newsgroups especially,
even if I am an inveterate mouser, I find ALT-vea: View all and ALT-veu:
View unread rather useful. It took me a while to find the toggle m for
mark read/unread but it's also a well-used command.

In addition there's tha Mozillazine forums as well if you like that medium:

That would be a shame, it is so sloooow.

Have a look at Opera, forget its a browser just use it as a mail
and news client, thats what I do, and I like it. At least I think
it is intuitive after i got my head around that all news are in
one list and the single Ng' and other folders actually just are ways
of filtering that list. This however make it very easy to do search's
on a whole server, just make a filter(label) that filter on the
server name and then search in the contents.

Just unpack and run, no installation is needed.

Touched a nerve, did I?

I'm glad you are happy with Pegasus, but there's no getting around
the fact that a program should not write to Program Files after the
initial installation, and it does.

 

[Bob Henson]

One hopes that it rejects them, since Usenet is a plain-text medium.

But it has an e-mail facility. Obviously HTML should not be used in Usenet.

 

[Bob Henson]

Hi Stan




In the old days yes, now a days a lot of people post in html,
and if we are going to survive we might need to allow it.
There is advantages to that format as well.

There are no advantages to HTML in newsgroups, few in E-mail and a lot of
well-known disadvantages in both. I, and quite a few others, have our
newsreaders set to delete HTML mail unread. Sadly, I have to accept HTML in
e-mail as many are unreadable without it.

Yes, I'm impatient with people such as yourself who blame software for
their own shortcomings.

Keep on believing hogwash... that's typical of you and those like you.

I'll bet you'd be happier in my Bozo Bin with more like you!

It's basic courtesy to tell someone you've plonked them, it keeps them
from replying.

Nobody who's earned my killfile has anything worthwhile to say, that's
why they're in there!

My Forte Agent automatically executes and inserts the post into my
Eudora.... awaiting to also send, to a re selected address, such as
in the case of a recipe, or insertion of a message.

I also hate Thunderbird. I couldn't find a way when I used it to killfile
anyone. So I went back to the WLM 2009 version which is not messed up in
the newsgroup department.

Sure you are right. Just last week, you boasted about plonking me. I
guess that was a lie.

You got un-plonked. You're back in the Bozo Bin now.

Hi Lee......glad to see I am not the only one who detests that program.
Did you have to uninstall WLM 2011 first and then install 2009?? I will
have to do that, but will wait till I am 100% sure of how to do it. It
seems simple enough, but I can't remember where to download 2009.
