Yes, thank you. It came through OK. I see that you use Outlook

I've forgotten how 4.7 worked for newsgroups...its been a long time
ago. But it reached the point of being outdated for handling the web.
Using T'bird 2.something here and it seems to do everything with no
thought required. yEnc, etc.
They seem to have taken a wrong turn somewhere with T'bird 3. Its
really klunky and confusing. I haven't messed with it lately (its on
my laptop) but I never could find the route to 'Subscribe to
Newsgroups'.
Try Thunderbird 2.*, Mike, as a replacement to Netscape for mail and
newsgroups.

I have the latest Thunderbird installed on this machine, mostly for the
Win 7 bootup (since it doesn't have Outlook Express for e-mail). I have
yet to make the NG's work on it. Es muy estranjo.
Using Pan 0.133 here.
http://pan.rebelbase.com/ Simple to use for most
task, but has lots of features for filtering and blocking some folks if
you spend any time in groups frequented by trolls.
