Newsgroup Reader

[Tom Smith]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good newsgroup reader/poster (if that makes sense!)

I've heard some people say Google Groups, but it always takes about 7 hours
(literally) for a message to be uploaded, though you can search archives
going back to the Jurassic era.

At the moment I use Outlook Express, but I can't work out how to alter the
way my email address appears so that it says something . One
thing I do like about OE is that it just works through your ISP mail server
and so the messages you post appear immediately.

Also, can't work out how you can quote the message you're replying to,
automatically adding pre-set text around the quotation.

Any recommendations much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Right click on the server name in the left "Folders" pane in OE and select
Properties. Then edit your address as you wish.

Go up to Tools, then in Accounts, go to the tab for News, and hit the
Properties button and edit you email address as you would like it to appear.

Cool...............see you on the golf course.
