It configures multiple NA servers easily, and has scoring as well. Have you tried this Program yet NA Allie? NA Nick From my limited experience with X News - not an off line reader, and with Gravity - at present a bug (design feature) that when you look at headers off line it tries to connect for each header! Have been advised by Gravity that this will be fixed in next upgrade ($$?) Perhaps if anyone could tell me how to use Xnews off line I would be eternally grateful (well, at least grateful, don't know about eternal) -- Keep Canada beautiful. Swallow your beer cans.

Hello Keith Russell, On Sun, 23 Jan 2000 20:54:19 -0700 GMT your local time, which was Monday, January 24, 2000, 10:54:19 AM (GMT+0700) my local time, Keith Russell wrote: Keith It frustrates me that I and several others have asked you to put lines Keith between quotes, and that even in responding to such a request, you Keith don't put a line! Please don't take this personally, because you've Keith been really helpful to me and to many others on the list. I am willing but problem is that in working through loads of mails its very hard to remember doing it.. Also in corresponding with people one to one it was never a real problem. On the other hand the cure is simple, optionally have the system FORCE that blank line or separator. Since when editing its shown as a different colour the bat knows its a quoted text and should be easily able to force this blanc line. It would besides fix peoples bad habits maybe also make sure that those new to the net donot get them Best regards, tracer Using theBAT 1.39 mail to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] using FireTalk: 321338 LOCAL phone: 271194 -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --

Spmeone told me that one really should have a separator line as a feature of the bat when quoting, or a blank line. Anyway, I donot see lines after quotes in your msg so I do musunderstand it? I thought its obvious when quoting since the name of the person quoted is still there...

Adimittedly its a bit like typing the old 80*24 line monitors but who minds... When I copy and paste text to 'message cleaner' it's done in a buggy fashion as well (that's unbelievable. I didn't know such a thing could happen). Whats mesg cleaner? never used it... Christopher Oh, come on, this program is a winner as far as bugs are concerned. Christopher Too long lines is one of them. But there are plenty of others, and Christopher plenty of lacking features (like Base64 and Quoted Printable support Christopher for 8 bit characters, code pages converting). I'm still using it, but Christopher only because I'm yet too lazy to switch to XNews. But I will soon!

I didn't know such a thing could happen). all I know is that in the long and distant past I used gravity for a month, then tried Agent. I never ever went back to Gravity or to another one. Ok, I ran a fully featured Agent 0.99 with a given key for 6 months and then decided to pay. Kind of stimulated as the new version came out and my newsreader stopped working but for me the choice was clear, I liked it and had my own code in a few hours. Agent may not be the best, it sure ismt what it could be BUT it doesnt cause me any problems Best regards, tracer Using theBAT 1.39 mail to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] using FireTalk: 321338 -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --
