Just checking to see if anyone is around on this server, and if anyone
is using the the Thunderbird mail client as their news reader.

Lots of people. Every few days there's a post in
eternal-september.support asking for help configuring it properly.

People do, but I stick with Seamonkey, which is the suite of NNTP, RSS, mail,
browser, web page builder, etc, etc. They share a lot of the same Mozilla
Foundation code, I just like the presentation better in SM.

Yep, I've used it for years, sticking with a V 2. something, that's why
it's working well for me.

I don't use it for email or download binary files. What other leaks

Sadly, NNTP support in a lot of things isn't super great. I got
tripped up with Thunderbird and ES even though I've set it up before.
