Firstly, congrats Cristophe on a major product! - you Da Man !!

Small footprint is what it's all about. Coupl'a t'ings you might want to consider for future:

1 Implementing some sort of NewsGroup Reader: while writing, does anyone know of any free-standing NewsGroup Readers out there ? (IE5 doesn't do it well, I use Eudora for eMail - & that don't got it)

2 Will you be enhancing Edit capabilities in this TextBox I'm using here - Ctrl-Left/Right doesn't seem to work ? (or is that a function borrowed from elsewhere, where it also doesn't work ? actually it now seems to be just the ArrowKeys ... hmmmmm)

3 Can we point to different Favoutrites folders, not IE5's ?

... dat's 'bout it Man, keep up the great work!

c y`all !

it's doubtful that a newsreader will be added. from what I can tell the motto is "do one thing and do it well." What kmeleon will do is pass news: links to the default newgroup reader, be it netscape, outlook, agent, or anything else.

And I'd lik it to "do one thing and be small and fast with this",
code size and functionality is obviously correlated, so I wouldn't put my vote on this one. There are enough nice news agents out there.

... I get your point, guys.

So, while writing - does anyone know of free-standing News Agents out there ??

thanks in advance

I don't use newsgroups, so I can't reccomend any from experience, but I know my friend uses Free Agent: http://www.forteinc.com/agent/freagent.htm
You can find a whole list of other ones here: http://www.softseek.com/Internet/Newsgroup_Readers_and_Tools/

Tx Brian - I'll 'give it a whirl!'

Along with Agent I would recommend Xnews ( http://xnews.3dnews.net/ ), especially if you need multiple-newsserver access.

Thank you for NOT adding a news reader! I have given up on Netscape because it is so slow on tables etc. and I am totally disappointed by the mozilla thingie. Instead of coding a good browser and adding MODULES for things like mail and news, they make the development a never ending story and even add an IRC capability. *sigh*
I have tried Opera for a few weeks seriously but gave it up because it has a DNS lookup problem that costs a lot of time. I hope to find K-Meleon the right thing for my purposes because I hate myself for being a regular IE user now. :-)

So, keep up the great work, and keep it small, fast and simple!

I've spent an hour reading the posts here. I feel like I've crawled out of a bucket and have this tickling sensation...I liked k-meleon right off when I first found it a couple of weeks ago. Now I realize that you are probably building the browser of my dreams. No email client. No news reader. No instant messenger. Standard compatible. YES! I understand I can even lose Favorites. Goodie. There are good stand alone managers that work with any browser and have a much better file format.

I think I hate every browser except Lynx and that one is a little too frugal even for me. A new sensation - a browser to love. Thank you guys and keep the good work up.
