Messenger Pro Email and News Application

Messenger Pro is a versatile Email and News application.
Recommended for email as no Windoze nasties will effect RISC OS machines.
And until recently I used this for USENET access for reading the comp.sys.acorn News Groups.
This only stopped as my ISP has stopped free access to USENET, so I need to find another server.

mail or messages in a location of your choice for archive. So the Classic Acorn folder
contains sixteen messages of which none are un-read.
