Turnpike is a bag of shite fella (my opinion of course). I've purposefully
stayed out of this thread, but I dumped it after alternatives arrived. I
only used it initially 'cos it was free with my Demon account.

I use a dedicated newsgroup program. And three email programs. 

You won't like any of them though. They're NOT Turnpike. If you want
Turnpike....stick with Windows.

Enjoy. Have you also got an Austin Healey (for the arduous trudge to work)
and a Triumph Sprite (solely for the weekend) ;-)
