I tried Outlook Express as my first newsreader after the CompuServe
forums. I had been
using TAPCIS. But I found OE useless; for example, it didn't keep local
copies of the
messages, and it didn't do threading right. So if I had to go back and
look at a message,
it had to download it again, and if it was gone from the server, I
couldn't see it.

Outlook Express has kept local copies of messages for some time now, and I
don't remember when it didn't.

And it is completely useless to me if I use full Outlook, and even ends up
creating
problems.

Nonsense, I have used both together for years with absolutely no problem.
Just disable all e-mail accounts in Outlook Express so it doesn't conflict
with your Outlook e-mail.

I searched around a lot before I discovered Agent. I tried at least four
other newsgroup
readers, but they were all of the throw-some-widgets-at-the-problem
design, and were
nearly unusable.

I used TapCIS as well but unlike you, did not find Agent intuitive.

The last I'd heard about the NTTP server interface to the forums was that
it didn't work
at all. So I should go look again.

I need to try it also. I used to (try to) use it a lot and gave up, now
that it (somewhat) works, I don't have time.
