The big thing is lazy people with livemail, unwilling to check other
newsgroup readers out for one that works.

When I had a computer die, I tested livemail and went 'hell no' so
spent about 15 mins trolling google for alternatives and found xananews
(freeware) suits me well. I tested a message or so here with it and
folks are happy enough with it's quoting to be workable.

It's not that hard. It's freeware! I use livemail for email and
xananews for newsgroups.
