The 'best' of anything is always subjective, so I can't say.

I've used XNews for a decade. I like the MDI instead of an SDI, but it does
have it's quirks, like any piece of s/w.

Robyn, I bet you can't tell from my post any of the history related to your
post and why you answered what you did.

See my post a bit earlier in this thread explaining why:

If one "won't waste their time" bottom posting, I doubt they'll edit
anything.

Your mail client doesn't place a delimiter above your sig when you top
post either.

Agreed but I've found I finally had to scorefile people using the
horrible CDO for posting, again, too many clueless people.

BTW, you might want to update your copy of Xnews, your version is 6
years old and there have been a lot of new releases since. The current
version is 2006.08.24

Its the horrible web interface that MS directs people to - in the past, the
first link on MS websites used to open the newsgroup in OE (or whatever
newsreader was in use), now the first link is to the horrible web
interface...

As sharks go... ;-)

> I will update it but i like what i have for now,

No problem, you can always go back if there's something you don't like
about the latest version, Blinky has now archived many older releases
on his site.

> and what does CDO mean?

CDO = "I'm such a newbie I think a web interface is OK for posting to
newsgroups."

When you figure out what you're talking about, you'll realize OE won't,
on its own, allow ANY but the top cursor positioning.

Sounds like the voice of experience over past problems speaking there
