on other servers if you want to. It only downloads from one server at a time (or at least does with the settings that I use). You could configure it to check them periodically but I don't bother.
In the MS world, I guess so.
But with the low cost of storage what are you worrying about. I personally need to store locally. Its mine I tell you mine!
Seriously, I guess the half way house is just to store the headers and only download the text when you view it. Most offline readers can be set up that way. Brian
I find the key with tb is to setup a few filters, and that can make it far more useful and usable.
Perhaps, but blocking the whole thing seems like a blunt instrument when its easy enough to be more selective.
You can require "no archive" on your own posts if you want.
The irony being that Google were the only people prepared to do that... Problem was Deja had no business model and required corporate sponsorship to survive, not a good foundation when your sponsor was DEC!
Not that it will do anything though.
Forte Agent (the paid for version).
It is reasonably simple to set up and the filtering provision is very good and easy to apply. As a long term advocate of Turnpike (since the early days of demon, prior to the original great news snafu) I eventually forced myself to look for a replacement when 64 bit windows became useful. I tried thunderbird but found it cumbersome so bit the bullet and bought Agent as a sound alternative to Tripnuke.

Indeed - and it's pretty easy to set the basic ones. I've also had a play with the way the panes are displayed (to make it look very like Turnpike), and the fonts. Most of it is fairly intuitive. Anyone wanting to try it can simply run it in parallel with whatever they're presently using - just make sure to set TB not to delete e-mails from the server, once they're read (unless that's what you want, of course).
Google only retains posts flagged like that for a week...
(note the google help page on this is actually flawed since it says you need a header of "X-No-Archive:" when in fact it needs to be "X-No-Archive: yes")

MesNews is the best newsgroup reader I've ever tried. Thunderbird is also good. MesNews takes a bit of getting used to but when you have it mastered, it's wonderful. It is free and contains no advertising.
Here's the download link:
Outlook express.
Here's how your post, and subsequent replies appear when in use:
Lots of people will say OE's no good etc, but I've been using newsgroups for
12 years now and never been happy with anything else and I've tried most of the other readers
If you are on XP - Outlook Express. If you are on Vista - Windows Mail (which is so close to Outlook Express you won't really notice much difference). If you are on W7 - Google for ways to enable Windows Mail under W7. Apparently the executable is there so you just have to link to it so you can start it easily from the desktop, and then you have to make sure you have ownership of the target email folder.
Windows Live Mail is the spawn of the devil. I wish I'd discovered the Windows Mail thing a week back before I set up WLM for a friend on her Netbook. Can't face uninstalling everything and starting again and she's picking up the PC today anyway.
I will, however, try it out on my own W7 64 bit system.

The only useful feature of GG, IMHO.
I use a scoring system to filter spam including certain keywords, email addresses, names and other factors. Anything posted via GG will have a higher score but will normally go into quarantine. I can read posts posted via GG, albeit delayed.
What are you emailing that the Sun would be interested in, I wonder ;-)
