Hi all,
Fairly basic question I think, but as I've not had anything to do with
Newsgroups before this one, I don't know the answer:
I take it that if you subscribe, you send an e-mail which goes to everyone
who's subscribed, but if you don't subscribe, (ie. you just post to the
newsgroup) the only people that see your message are the ones that view the
newsgroup.
Is this the case, or have I got it wrong?
One more quick question. Has the formatting of the threads gone all to pot.
I've sent a couple of e-mails to Paul with a low priority asking if
something is wrong, as I have a couple of other news groups which are fine.
The problem seems to be that threads never seem to go deeper than one post,
threads get separated, threads marked as 'watched' do not function
correctly.
Anybody?
Cheers,
Gaz
