I haven't but Peja does and she's on hundreds of Y!G lists and seemed
content with the program.

Last I heard, the creator of PGOffline will have the patch ready to go
by next week and the software gives a trial period for free.

I'm thinking about trying out the program.  I was a usenet gal before
mailing lists became popular.  The option of downloading could be
useful when I finally get irked with Gmail's threading or Gmail starts
heavily bouncing messages.  For folks with space on their hard drives
but not in their email accounts, this could be useful.

I just wish I could download my LJ flists in full too.  I'm only on
March 13-14 and LJ 'expires' messages from f-lists after fourteen
days.  Folks think the Y!G interface is bad?  Try most of the HP
fandom's concept of 'design': big images and squish the text into
small boxes with smaller text.  If these were art forums, sure, go for
it; but they're not, they're discussion and fanfic where legibility of
*text* is IMPORTANT.

{sigh}  Then again, I also have to deal with 'teen angst' folk like:

and

Huh?  Err, I get along fairly well with a couple mods of
Glassesreflect and sorta okay with a couple more.

I feel... pity for her and that irks me to feel sorry for a person
when I shouldn't.
