Thanks, I didn't know it!

I  myself  am  using  Sylheed (as you may have seen from the
headers) as one  of  the  most  beautiful  e-mail  and  news
clients.   I don't think any other GUI client lets one avoid
cartoonish icons and gradients and have a  sharp  and  plain
interface.   But  I am not going to recommend it to a newbie
because it has no support of a killfile and its  filters  do
not work with NNTP accounts:

  [Respect filters in NNTP accounts]

And  unlike  FIDO,  Usenet groups are full of filth and SPAM
these days...
