My view is that almost every newsreader is better is some respect than
the others, and which one is best for you depends on what features are
more important to you. We are all different and have different needs
as well as different likes and dislikes.
For a long time, I also used to prefer Outlook Express (also with
QuoteFix) to Agent, but these days, I greatly prefer Agent. But I can
no longer remember what there was about each of them that I preferred.
So my main point here is that everyone should ignore other people's
recommendations on things like this, and try several. Choose what
*you* like best, rather than make your decision based on what I, or
anyone else, likes best.
