Since opera 10.60b looked pretty good in those comparisons, it caused me
to wonder about some features of the opera newsreader than I hadn't
checked out in a while, so I installed it on a WinXP.

The good news is that opera handles format=flowed better than Tbird 3.1
or any Tbird such as 3.0.x since 2.0.0.24.

That is probably not very important to the vast majority who don't seem
to care one way or the other about newsreaders which chop up quoted
lines with ugly shortlines ie embarassing linewraps.

OE was so bad about it that Dominik Jain created OE QuoteFix, but there
are no such fixes for all the other newsreaders that make a slightly
less severe mess of things.

Internet Explorer 8 is the fastest.
I stopped taking it seriously there and then

I asked for help in putting Opera mail & newsgroups together, via the
Opera newsgroups and got no help at all - worse, I got a snotty reply.
Has put me right off Opera all the way.
