I've recently downloaded and installed to pieces of software: 1. Thunderbird for reading newsgroups; 2. PixelNhance for photos.
Each time I open these applications a icon that looks like a drive appears on the screen. When I drag them to the trash the trash can changes to the "eject" icon.
I put them in the trash and they reappear again when I open the applications. With PixelNhance, I also get an icon called "CaffeineApps.dmg". Caffeine is the company that makes PixelNhance.
What you're opening is not the application itself, but a disk image that contains the application and probably one or more other files (e.g. ReadMe). Instead of trashing the drive icon, select it in the Finder sidebar and drag the programme's icon to your Applications folder.
BTW, I really don't recommend using an email app for Usenet.
Miche,
Have you ever looked at mozilla.org? Here is what http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/why/ has to say:
Integrated News Reader
Mozilla Thunderbird is not just a mail client, it also includes a fully-integrated Usenet newsgroup reader! It supports all the basic functions, such as subscribing to your favorite newsgroups, downloading headers and messages, offline support and thread watching/ignoring.
Sincerely, Dennis B. Swaney
