You're right, it's not. However, it's definitely something I look for (among other things) in a reader and editor. To each their own, of course.

Looks like you've got some updating to do. ;)

I will take your word for it.

With that said, OpenXP also has an extra nod from me because of it's NNTP functionality. That seems to be the only one out of the three that you don't have to use as a point, since you can access your original message base. Add UTF-8 support in both directions and you have a clear winner there (IMO, of course).

If WinPoint had NNTP I probably would have kept it installed. But I don't need point software (especially storing another message base only utilized by one program) at the moment, I just wanted to see what was out there and give it a test run.

Great stuff, though! If either of them continue development, I will definitely keep my eye out.

Regards,
Nick
