Nothing to see here, folks, just move on. "Armegeddon" is a likely eventual result.

Anything in the outgoing box will be automatically posted. You and MacSOUP have a strange definition of "automatically", then. Just re-read that paragraph and realize how un-Mac-like that behavior is. It's pretty easy to see why MT-NW's simplicity is preferred, even if it isn't the most advanced or most pretty Usenet client out there. -- My personal UDP list: 127.0.0.1, localhost, googlegroups.com, ono.com, and probably your server, too.

So? You can do that before hitting "post" in MTNW while on line, too. -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist http://www.mosaictelecom.com/~erilarlo

I only open one message at a time. More I find counterproductive. I go through groups one at a time. I'm not in a race. Threads are collapsed but I can open them if I don't want to go through all of the messages in one. What's wrong with a list of subject headings? -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist http://www.mosaictelecom.com/~erilarlo |
