Thunderbird is BROKEN for macs. The updates broke it
and I tried in vain to use an earlier version. It
crashes and won't allow most newsgroups or headers
to be downloaded to the reader. It also has the
stupid design flaw of keeping the server information
hidden: there is no option or command to display the
newsreader server.

Trotsky won't see this post because it's crossposted
to news.software.readers and his kill-file won't
let him see it.
