I recommend getting started using Outlook Express because everyone
running Windows XP already has it (it comes with Windows). Each
newsreader has a different set of features, and has its own strengths
and weaknesses. Which is best for *you* depends on how you work, and
what features are therefore important to *you*. As a single example of
that, Outlook Express is undoubtedly a very poor choice if you
frequent binary newsgroups. But its weaknesses in that regard don't
matter at all if you don't use binary newsgroups.
If you start with Outlook Express and use it for a while, you will get
to know *its* strengths and weaknesses and have a baseline to compare
others against.
system. I am currently using a web interface and from reading posts here its
a good idea to get a Newsreader. I went on Google and was delulged by 100's
of sites and got very confused by all the requirements, etc. Soooo.... I
thought I would ask the experts here for any advice, if you don't mind.
