After the top-posting thread (sorry to those who feel it is too much), I think I come to an conclusion that Outlook 2K is not a good option to post to PIClist. It is a decent option to read PIClist though since I do not subscribe to [OT] from Outlook 2k. I guess any email reader is okay as long as [OT] is unsubscribed. ;-) Gmane makes possible to access PIClist using newsgroup reader. I use Outlook Express to read quite some technical related lists. There is still a problem with PIClist: threading support of OE is not so good. That is not a problem for other lists but it can be a problem for PIClist. PIClist is special. ;-) PIClist.com seems to be a good candidate. In reality, it is not since it is much slower than Gmane. It does have the benefits of adding the [SX] but who I do not cares about [SX] -- SX is dying anyway. I am mainly using Gmail now. It seems to be quite an okay option.
