I'm going to hate myself for exposing myself this way, but will
news.individual.net or other services tolerate Outlook Express?

If they tolerate Agent, why wouldn't they?

Regrettably, yes.

Regrettably how?

Regrettably because OE likes to add HTML to messages, and 99% of the
posts you see in Usenet that have HTML all over them come from OE. HTML
shouldn't be in e-mail (although I realize I'm fighting a losing battle
here), but it's absolutely wrong in Usenet. Combined newsreader/e-mail
clients that encourage HTML, especially one that is likely to be used
by the most netiquette challenged Usenet participants, are most kindly
described as "regrattable."

OE is also Javascript enabled by default. Which is a bad thing since
MS' version is broken and doesn't handle sandboxing real well.

Use Thunderbird, and while you are there, download Firefox too. Both
really great products.

Actually, I'm pretty happy with Thoth for newreading (although it's no
longer being supported) and Eudora for e-mail. When I'm on Solaris, I
still use Mozilla for newsreading (and pine for e-mail), but that's
just because I'm lazy and it isn't worth finding a better newsreader
for a platform where I rarely spend time on Usenet.

Try xrn. It's a bit resource intensive (being X based), but it's
really pretty neat. One feature I like is that you can have NG based
sigs. So my sig for rec.scuba.locations would be different than my
sig for rec.autos.sport.f1.moderated.


Right now all my Linux boxes are dedicated to non-interactive
functions.
