I currently use the basic solution - OutlookExpress.
What can some other newsreader offer better to me?
Best regards,
Vladimir.

Thunderbird's GUI is a bit alike Outlook Express, so you won't be
completely lost, too, when first using it ;).
HTH,

However my first reason for using mozilla is that its saver when
receiving email viruses but for newsgroups thats less of an issue.
Something that is usefull is that it is better at formatting messages
when replying.
A third "political" reason is because mozilla is in general more
standards complient then microsoft solutions and I believe the correct
implementation of standards should be promoted.

Is there some mechanism (even in Outlook Express) that can, how to say,
save (archive) old posts which will be by default truncated after some time.
For example I cannot see the posts that are a couple of months old.
How to solve this?

puts them in their archive - if they have one.
so I can browse at leisure without a connection, and go back
to messages that the newsgroup has already deleted ( even
the ones that the moderator kills early ;) )
The only niggle is that I can't use the nice search
facilities that are available on the eMail lists to search
the downloaded newsgroup messages - that still only works on
the header information ( unless someone knows differed? )

pity not to have them in the newsreder...
In fact, there is a web based search mechanism

heard of a virus attacking Mozilla, and it is great for removing spam
mails. The browser is also a lot better than IE.

right click the message and use "Copy To Folder" , you can organize the
savings by creating a new folder before copying it over. If you want to save
a whole topic, multi select the messages(shift select or ctrl select), right
click and use the "Combing And Decode" option. Sometimes you have to
re-arrange the message but as soon as you do that (or skip that part) goto
the File menu, use Copy To Folder or save the whole topic as a txt or eml
file.
 

Thunderbird. Because it is not as stupid as OE. It isn't the best
newsreader in the world, but it is good enough for me, and has nice
email features.

I use Outlook Express because it's here, it does what I need, it seems to
work. Why fix what isn't broken?
