Oh man, it took a few seconds from reading your message to having MD2
appear on screen, after a week of messing around! I've tried 299 other
things first, and always suspected that the very last thing I tried
would be the one to fix it! I've updated my MUI mccs so many times
that I have some of next year's ones.
Thank you VERY MUCH!
I knew I had a problem with CManager, but never connected it with
this.
While MD2 was absent I went loking for other newsgroup readers.
NewsRog is an incredibly powerful monster that would take a while to
learn, and Stargate is neat, elegant and simple. Thor? <shudder> No, I
have hardly recovered from last time I tried it two years ago
I won't bother pursuing those now, since MD does news well, and has an
excellent groups manager built in, with list downloaded from ISP. And
maybe, one day, I might even try MD2 for email as well . . .
Regards
