why do you people use Outlook Express??

i have been using Mozilla Thunderbird for ages now and i highy recommend it,
it is way more secure there are soo many addons to coose from and looks
better too , and also has awesome junk mail filters.

you can download it from: http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/

Microsoft will have to do alot of work to get me using outlook Express again


Peace Out

Some people continue to use it because they feel comfortable using it, and
some people actually like it. Plus it is free with Explorer. Thank you for
the advice.

Being free with Internet Explorer is no endorsement. Mozilla Firefox and
Thunderbird are both free, as well.

Yes, some people actually do like MSFT junk. Some just stick with it
because it is all that they know, and they are afraid to try something
else. Others stick with it out of inertia. Both MSIE 6 and MSOE 6 are
old, and overdue for replacement. The replacements won't run under
Windows ME, and I am not keen on moving up to Windows XP. Something
about "Product Aggravation" that I don't care for.

Personally, my pick for email is Pegasus Mail, running behind
Mercury/32. My own domain, my own mail server, and I haven't received
spam to my domain mailbox in nearly a year; less then a dozen, or so for
the whole year last year.

My pick for a news agent is 40tude Dialog. Forté Agent, Super Gravity,
and XNews are also good news agents.

Because it does what I want, everything I want, and does it well?
Mozilla/Tbird et al are OK but they don't integrate well with my
needs for spam fighting and a few other things I'm into, while OE
does. OE reliably does what I want it to do, and does not do
what I don't want it to do; that simple.
My only complaint about OE is that it doesn't literally
correctly set itself up for bottom-posting and doesn't color-code
communications, but that's so minor it's negligible since proper
trimming requires a start from the top anyway. Besides, I added
oequotefix once, and even it's a non-issue now.

I don't see it as a problem that you don't use OE. Why do YOU
imply that you see it as a problem that I do?

Have you found a work around for oequotefix disabling the spell check when
replying?
One other issue I have with OE is that it leaves many traces behind when you
think you have deleted / removed old news groups. Search for *.dbx to see
old groups you thought you had deleted and take a peek inside the
folders.dbx folder.

Uncheck the option to ignore the original text.

Thanks Frank... that does work. However it does as implied and checks
spelling for entire message. In the case of a long NG thread it takes a lot
of "ignore all" clicks. I've lived with this problem for a couple of years
and have gotten used to highlighting the new text and spell checking that.
But thanks for an option.
