XNews is excellent, but hardly intuitive for newbies used to typical
Windoze apps.

That's what I used to use, and when I switched to Knode after
ditching Windows there were several things I missed. Knode *still* doesn't
have the ability to add arbitrary headers, and its followup-to behaviour is
constantly irritating. XNews did everything, and its defaults encouraged
newbies to Do The Right Thing, but without insisting on it and reducing
flexibility. Usenet would be a much better place if XNews was the default
newsreader on Windows.

If only! But I'd be content if only Microsoft made a few small,
obvious improvements to OE (signature placement, quoting etc).
