PS-How to fix Usenet access?

... "Tim Slattery" wrote in message ... Computer Nerd Kev wrote: On 24 Jul 2013, Tim Slattery wrote: Thunderbird does both email and newsgroups. I know. If my interpretation of your post is correct, you indicate that Opera is not particularly designed for Usenet, as it adds the function as a feature of the Email client. Therefore it is less desirable. I don't know anything about Opera. I have no idea whether it does a wonderful or terrible job with usenet. However the same applies to Thunderbird. So I don't understand why you suggested this as a Usenet client to switch to when, as I posted, there is a range of free Newsreaders to choose from. There are many products that combine email and usenet clients. But again, I don't use Thunderbird and don't know whether it's wonderful, terrible or something in between. It's a free email/usenet client and lots of people use it and like it. Tim I useing Outlook Express for Win98 Without add OE-Quotefix |

Using Opera 9.64 on Win98 [and very happy except for this tiny disadvantage, so don't tell me to change to Some other browser. You should not be using a browser (any browser) to experience usenet. Since I can't read a single posting on ANY Usenet group, I now rely upon Eternal September Why didn't you choose AIOE? No registration (user-name/password garbage). However, I can't post through Eternal September. What are you using (what software) to connect to Maternal September? What-ever it is, change your server setting to nntp.aioe.org. YOU DA MAN! I added nntp.aioe.org to Opera. All postings from both e-s and aioe appear in one giant list - very slow to go through. I right click on the posting and a choice to 'reply' comes up. Select reply, and then change the 'from' field from e-s to aioe, wirte the reply, hit send, get an 'error' message something is wrong, but see the reply posted later !! Evidently I did that sequence on my 16th attempt to respond, it worked, but with so many attempts I forgot how I did it. Thanks. |
