Vista - Is there an alternative?

Does anyone know of a news reader that will work on Vista. I've had enought
of MS Mail. It is a very poor replacement of Express, filled with excessive
"Unknown Errors" and corrupted databases.

I give up after two months.

There are several.
If you don't want to pay for one try Thunderbird but
if you want to access binaries there's Xnews.

It does a good job for me.

I meant multipart binaries.
Thunderbird has no combine and decode function.

By any chance, are you using McAfee or Norton antivirus?
It seems like most people using those are experiencing that
type of error.

Yes, I am using McAfee. The same McAfee that I was using with MS Express
without problems.

That is the problem. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 It was a problem in
OE as well, but it seems to be worse in WinMail.
