    I've been trying out the various ones for Firefox and all of them leave a bit to be desired for what I want. Used to use Thunderbird, but that got tedious. What does everyone use?

    I like sage (plugin for Firefox) but I don't have much to compare it to.

    I like pluck - the folder set up is good and it's a web app.

    I friend spoke really highly of a Trillian addon - you need to buy the upgrade, it isn't free.

    I use SharpReader (http://www.sharpreader.net/index.html) It's a standalone app. It has occational problems with the corperate firewall/proxy, but nothing serious.

    Brian, check out http://www.rssbandit.org/ It's now an Open Source project using the .Net framework. Like Sharpreader it is mentioned here http://www.microsoft.com/communities/guide/rss.mspx

    Latest version of RSSBandit also allows NNTP access, so you don't have to deal with OE anymore.

    I'll check out both Sharpreader and RSSBandit. As for Sage within Firefox, tried it and wasn't all that satisfied. I'm using Wizz RSS right now and while I like it better than Sage, I'm not sold on it.
