Hi, Jud.

Thanks for the tips.

But, unlike many others, I'm actually happy with WLMail - MOSTLY. This new
beta has some quirks that MUST be worked out before RTW! In the early 90's,
I tried a dozen or more ways to access NGs, BBSes, CompuServe and other
online services. When OE appeared, I could - for the first time - access
all my email servers with a single phone call on my dial-up modem. That
felt so good that I soon abandoned Pegasus, GEnie, Netscape Communicator and
all the others and have used only OE/WM/WLM since then. I know the others
are out there, and I hear many MVPs and other recommend them highly, but I'm
just not in the mood to leave my "rocking chair" so long as WLM does what I
want it to do. ;^}

And, since adding this 1 TB HDD last year, I once more have "more disk space
than I'll ever need", just like I did when I got that humongous 20 MB drive
several years ago. :^{

I intentionally downloaded all those 70,000 messages because I want to keep
their full texts here on my hard disk. Why? Because I'm a packrat, I
suppose. But this has been a most-informative NG and I'd hate to lose the
store of data, even if I never need it.

I could suggest you get a bit more modern newsreader. Forte Agent 6 can do a
"catch-up" without actually downloading anything, and it also can also
receive
the headers in compressed form, which makes retrieving a lot of them, very
quick (up to 10 times faster).

I have this group locked in on 3 different servers.. I have learned a untold
amount through this group most often from the sidelines but I would miss it
if it were gone.. I will continue to be here to the bitter end!!

I haven't heard anything more than anyone else, Carlos. But I expect
sometime next week for someone at MS to make us 'read only' on the msnews
servers. At which point, I'll switch over to my secondary server. I'll be
here, regardless. (Though I'm buried right now with work, so a bit sporadic
in checking in.)

We'll be here, even if Microsoft isn't.
