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

Thunderbird is acceptable for usenet. And Outlook Express is a lot
better than some people make out: I'd seriously consider it if only
because of the likelihood of finding someone else if you have
problems (less so now it's getting long in the tooth, I suppose). I'd
add OE-Quotefix, mind.

I back on my XP
lot of people do not know
that Outlook Express have
a News-Reader built in it


But I do know; when I said it's better than people make out, I meant as
a newsreader (though same applies to its use for email as well).

I was very happy with google acces to Usenet,


Explain again why you don't (didn't) access usenet through a normal (and
free) server?

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.
