That could be the answer, yes.

As a mail client, Sylpheed can't be beat IMO.

As a news client, it sucks. No uudecode (except by using actions), last time
I looked there wasn't a killfile facility, nor is there a way to get it to
expire messages older than n days, and with my news server having really
good retention, I'd have upwards of 100K messages in some newsgroups.
