Gnews is great reader too, but... it doesn't allow you to post/reply on the
newsfeed and you always lost the first article on the list of a newsgroup.
but it is yet more easy to read with Gnews than Tass which always lost all
pointers ... here, at TFP, the only way is to read with Gnews and post with
Tass ; i think there's just a little disease... :-)

I confess, my dream today is to find a *complete* read & post package that
works fine under Coherent :-)
anyone knows ?


                Cheers, Laurent.
