- I've already looked at thor, which is nice, but just to damn slow and hammers
- the hard disk like crazy when you've got about 1000 messages or more in a news

- messages on the screen, rather than having to extract them, view then etc...
- Very handy.

- What's UMS like for on-line browsing ?? does it have it ? As thor makes a crap
- online broswer. MNews is a better online reader but is not finished and
- crashes most of the time :-(
