Not you OT, the original is OT. Joak.
But while you are there where do the odd "When I buzzed ......"
come from?

Ah! I jumped too soon, paranoia setting in :)

The intro bit to my replies? That is all set up in teh newsreader I use
called Gravity, It used to be shareware but they stopped developing it
and now it is freeware. I love it, you can set all sorts of things
automatically, such as the intro you mentioned and the sig.

That's configurable in Xnews, as well, Jim. Explore your main menu,
where it says Special. I think what you're looking for is under
Compose. It's there, somewhere, a few clicks away, anyway.

Well, he did get his point across.

His decimal point. Nyuk.

Got it as you can see.
I thought that there might be random phrases one could use.
Ta anyhoo :o)

Good deal. Having used Xnews for about five minutes in the last 11
months, it's getting hard to remember where stuff is. :)

There are an infinite number. You just have to think of them.

Buzz,
Having tried just about everything to get away from Outlook Express, I dl'd
it and am experiencing problems.
How do I:
1. just get to newsgroups without loading them all.
2. reply to a post. (all I see is post)
3. get postings to leave my machine to the server as they seem to stick
around and only upload when I close the app.
TIA :) POKO

OK, You initially need to load them all, just so its got the list, Then
go to newsgroup/subscribe, type in a keyword for the groups you want,
and select it, then click add. (You can specify how many posts it
downloads)

Then, click on the tools icon, (A spanner & Screwdriver crossed) and go
through each tab to set all your preferences

Theoretically you could say NO to the update and manually add only the
groups you want. The INS key is the manual add function.

And I thought a period was the end of thought, not the beginning of one.

Ahhh...the wonders of usenet! ;-)
