Can this be done? Thanks in advance. I'm relative new (couple of months), and although there seems already to be a few different categories, I see a lot of posts of experienced users, that completely ignore these differences (or perhaps I don't understand a bit of it ;-). [ANN] is this group, I thought we had: [EMAIL PROTECTED] pycon-announce@python.org Scipy questions, I thought we had: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Delphi, I thought we had: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Probably there are a number of other groups (would be nice to have a list of these) here is the description list that I'm subscribed for many years, that uses good defined topics http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist/index.htm It has one major disadvantage for newbies, if a message without the proper tag arrives, it is blocked and can be manual added to the list by the moderator. cheers, (and sorry for all the stupid newbie posts, which probably is not of your interest ;-) Stef Mientki -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

To fetch all the messages from here. I learned that sometimes the ISP provides one, however, mine do not. But then I discovered that Google has a free newsserver, so I joined this group from there. Sadly, I cant see a feature here that lets me subscribe to an individual topic, so if anyone else is using Google groups and know how to do something like this, please tell me. :) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I don't know about Google Groups, but you may be able to accomplish what you want to do with filters provided by your newsreader software.

You discovered wrong -- Google does not provide a free newsserver. They no doubt *have* several newsservers, but don't provide direct access to them either free, or for a fee. They only provide a web interface to access the contents of their newsservers, with a fraction of the features that a real newsreader would. You seem to already have a newsreader -- you're using Opera, which includes a fairly good one, hidden away in the Hotlist/Panels/whatever- they're-calling-it-today. Other newsreaders I'd recommend are PAN and Forte Agent. So you just need a server. pubnews.gradwell.net still seems to exist -- it's free. Alternatively, news.individual.net offers a good service for a fairly low yearly cost. -- Toby A Inkster BSc (Hons) ARCS Contact Me ~ http://tobyinkster.co.uk/contact Geek of ~ HTML/CSS/Javascript/SQL/Perl/PHP/Python*/Apache/Linux * = I'm getting there! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hehe, it has all the features I knew existed in a newsreader, except this subscribe to topic thing Im looking for.

Other newsreaders I'd recommend are PAN and Forte Agent. Did I mention I use Opera? I do anyway, it was just days ago I made the switch from Firefox. I found their mail-/newsreader client but since I didnt know what to type in the server settings of the newsreader, my search continued.

So should pubnews.gradwell.net go in both Incoming and Outgoing server fields? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hehe, it has all the features I knew existed in a newsreader, except this subscribe to topic thing Im looking for. If you have My Groups enabled, you can highlight a topic as a favorite. When reading a thread, click on the star near the upper left corner of the screen under the subject header. This will add that subject to your favorites. Then to see your favorite topics, click favorites at the top of the page, toward the right-hand side. In an email client, you can set a filter that dumps messages from a list that don't match specific keywords into the trash or an archive folder. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
