Just email, man. Didn't even know it did newsgroups 'til I saw a

reference in the configuration pane.

I don't approve of mixed-protocol clients, and Sylpheed would undoubtedly

be even snappier if that was stripped out.

And what's your issue with Thunderbird? I see it as a perfectly fine email

client. More than that, I would consider it at least "very good".

Especially coupled with the Sunbird addon.

I still see teevee commercials for 'em, stressing their censorship

I imagine they gig the Flonk, too.

I played with it with Ubuntu. It did look pretty fancied up. Is there a

is what Konqueror is to file management.
