Hi All,

I've just got an iMac, and going by the views I've read here whilst
lurking, MacSoup seems like a good newsreader to start with.  I've just
escaped from Win95, where I've been using Agent for News & email, an
undeniably good piece of software for fast browsing of news.

Things I miss, though, can I acheive them with MacSoup or any other
reader? Newswatcher doesn't seem to do any of this either.

1. The ability to read the next new message in a group (chronologically)
by hitting one key.  Agent did this, and switched threads & groups
automatically when everything was read.

2. Are there any 3rd party programs available that will switch the
active window based on where you've parked the mouse? It would save 1
click every time I want to select a new subject, or thread, in Macsoup.

As you can see, I'm a lazy chap who wants to use the mouse as little as
possible in a news/email sesssion.  Anyhow, another thing I used to like
was threading in email, as I subscribe to three lists.  What's generally
the most loved email app?  I quite like using the newreader's one for
convenience, but MacSoups' doesn't appear to support attachments, or
threading.

Internet config also doesn't wany to save my signature file, it always
defaults back to that message about random signatures.  Should I just
put my sig in a random signatures folder? (OS 8.5)

Oh, and how do I create an X-face? Can't find a program anywhere!
And where's the 'Del' key on the iMac???!!!!!!

Thanks all in advance.

Jerome
