That last statement is not necessarily so. A Newsreader such as Agent, which I use, will download messages at the start, and then go offline. When I want to post a reply, I can use the option 'later' so that several messages will be posted at once, if you want to do it that way. I am doing it that way, today. Agent costs $29; it has more capability than the free version which is called Free Agent -- I don't know whether the delayed posting is in both, but I think it is. -- Rich Ulrich, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pitt.edu/~wpilib/index.html . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
