It *could* be a great newsreader, but attachment handling would have to be thoroughly reworked. In my freelance work I receive and send lots of large and very large attachments (1-20MB). TB takes *ages* to just display a message that contains an attachment, then takes twice as long to save it. Agent - by way of comparison - gives me no perceptible delay, on the same machine, for the same attachment sizes. Those who download stuff from binary groups would be thoroughly underwhelmed with TB's performance in this regard. Agent's threading is also superior, IMO. That said, I'd buy a TB-based newsreader without a second of hesitation, if only for the powerful search facilities. .marek jedlinski -- No ads, no nags freeware: http://keynote.prv.pl (KeyNote, PhoneDeck, KookieJar, Oubliette) "You guys got something against spam?"
