I tried Thunderbird but couldn't get it to work and the people who are
supposed to help are damn snooty and would not explain things. They were
the same when I tried out the web browser a couple of years ago as well.
Windows Live mail takes a bit of getting used to after OE but it is OK for
Usenet and would be fine if the windows could be arranged - I can't imagine
why they didn't allow that as it is a trivial thing to program. ( I must
admit though, after OE it is a big relief not to get 100 spams a day on my
new ISP - don't know how long that will last but the anti spam looks good.)
