> ..What I really like about thunderbird is that it is an email client, ... news reader and blog manager/reader, etc. I think you're misspeaking [which is partly why I'm confused]. Do you really mean "blog" or do you mean "RSS feed"? [doesn't matter, of course, because I don't think Agent will have an RSS aggregator in any event, but at least I won't be so confused]. I think it is a matter of preferences and style There are some folk who REALLY like "all in one" applications. And so really like having a browser/email/news/RSS/word-processor/spreadsheet/database/etc combined application, the more multi-functions [and so the fewer separate apps they have to run] the better.... I've never done that: I use separate browser, email client, news client and RSS aggregator. I find the various channels different enough that *for*me* I don't see any advantage in using a multi-function app when I can use separate apps that do the *exact* job I want very-well. Note that I do RSS feeds also, but I use an explicit aggregator to do so, rather than expecting some other app to handle it. [and since I use Agent *solely* for news, I mostly barely notice its other-than-news features (and indeed, wouldn't have even thought to ask if they'd bundled an RSS aggregator into it). /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <-- -- ---------------------------------------- The WIN-HOME list is hosted on a Windows 2000(TM) machine running L-Soft international's LISTSERV(R) software.
