Deficiencies in Smart NewsReader
While these are both great features that should be included in more news readers, the other features in Smart NewsReader just don't measure up to the competition. The interface is downright unattractive and counter-intuitive.
In addition, the news reader is extremely slow relative to the better newsreaders on the market (Agent, News Xpress, and WinVN for example). Features like encryption capabilities, UUdecoding (although external multimedia viewers can be launched), offline/online newsreading, right mouse button functionality, and quick purging are noticeably absent.
Finally, Intel recently discontinued support and development for the Smart Newsreader, so don't hold your breath if you've been hoping to see a new update for the client.
