TheBat! has split the difference on this and supplied HTML interpretation within TheBat! Instead of double-clicking the message.html icon beside the mesage to start your browser, click on the message.html tab below the message. > (3) Read NNTP News Groups I've lost patience with the slowness of browser newsreaders. There's no reason to think that a newsreader incorporated within TheBat! would be any better. Someone on a newsgroup suggested that it would be better to use Xnews, a newsreader designed specifically for reading the news. I tried Xnews. After a few days of experimentation I found that I like Xnews. I'll pass this tip on to you: Xnews (available free at http://xnews.newsguy.com/) is a fast and convenient news reader, in the same sense that TheBat! is a fast and convenient mail reader. > (4) Improve the capability of backing up and restoring configuration > information.
