There were various things I didn't like, just to name some: I started
with Outlook Express but I didn't find a way to define a signature for
my posts (!), nor did I find a way to see only the new/unread posts.
Then in ThunderBird, the Unread posts view didn't support threaded view,
and when I made a reply to a post with an text-file attachment... it
inlined the attachment in the reply, (WTH ?).

Thx.

I'm using thunderbird, can't see anything wrong with it. I honestly 
don't think you can get anything better than it. (I specially like the 
smilies ;) and the *bold* _underlined_ /italic/ formatting. It's just 
neat overall.

Anyway, for unread posts, I just look for threads where the title is 
Bold (new thread) or underlined (new posts in the thread).

As for inlining text atachments, I don't know what's up with that, but 
this happens with all email clients I know, even gmail's web based 
client does that :/

Hmmm... 
I use PAN http://pan.rebelbase.com/ under GNU/Linux and it's way better.
There's also winshit and macOS versions of pan.

But thunderbird is cool too. If it's open source it's fine.

Pan is great.  The kde newsreader is also quite good.  Both of those are 
on linux, though.

On windows, I use thunderbird.  While it does the job, I don't consider 
it as good as pan.  There are a few features on it that annoy me; but 
it's free, so being too picky is rather unproductive.

Another (free) newsreader I've tried on windows is Super Gravity.  It's 
quite comprehensive and feature rich; but for some reason, I don't like 
it very much.  Others might like to try it out, though.

To view with threading, go to View - Threads, and select the option you 
want. (With Thunderbird)

I use Thunderbird myself, but... well, it's not perfect.  The attachment 
thing is just because it will show attachments at the end - I think you 
can turn it off, either in options or about:config.

In the "View" menu you will see the option "Display Attachments Inline"
and you will see that it is checked.  I will agree, though, that its
houldn't be active by default.

I use Thunderbird on Windows and find it a lot better than OE, but had
similiar grieves with setting up read/unread as I wanted. I've recently
migrated to Linux (Kubuntu) and there I use KNode in Kontakt. In the start
I thought KNode had similar problems, but it was just a matter of setting
it up correctly. I now press 'n' to go to the next unread (no matter how
the posts are viewed), and when there are no more unread, 'n' moves me to
the next group in the list. There is also a mapping for the next unread
thread.

Thanks for all the newsclient sugestions, but even better yet were the 
Thunderbird tips. I guess I judged Thunderbird a bit too soon, without 
better checking those features.
The unchecking of "Display Attachments Inline", the View->Threads menu 
options, and the Go-> Next/Previous keyboard shortcuts (N,P, etc.) fix 
most of the issues I had, so I guess I will keep using Thunderbird.

Thx :thumbsup:
