Thunderbird is also a newsclient and in that capacity there are several things missing. If you've ever used something like slrn, you'll miss the scorefile like hell. Thunderbird also has one of the main weaknesses of any GUI program: It's slow. If you get up to 60 eMails each day which you not only have to read but also answer, you'll be happy to have a mail- and news-client that lets you keep your handy on the keyboard instead of making one had jump between the keyboard and the mouse all the time. Since I moved to Unix (it was Linux back then), I have always used textbased mail- and news-clients. I started off with elm and tin. Unlike many others, I didn't really have a problem moving on to Mutt. Today I prefer slrn over tin, but at university I still use tin. Both are fast and easy to use. I just like the split screen while reading, because then I can see the thread as well as the current article at the same time. > Thank you so much! No problem. Always here to help. :-) Regards Chris
