My experience is the exact opposite!

The news program in Netscape 3 is very nice (though I found out that
that only applies to the unix version. I tried the one in my mother's
Netscape 3, Win 3.11, and that really sucked! They may both be called
"Netscape 3", but they are _not_ the same program!).

I _hate_ when I accidentally start the "news program" in Netscape 4!!!
It changes my _email_ files! (WTF is a *news* program doing changing my
*email* files??? I do my email with Pine, and prefer to continue that
way. I certainly do not want to use the same program for email and
news).

*grrrr*
