up till now I've been happily accessing URG through Garden Banter, great
for me, so I thought, but thanks to helpful advice on another thread I'm
beginning to realise I would be better off accessing through a
newsreader (newsgroup?).

I have set up what I thought was the right access to URG through Outlook
Express but all I get are loads of emails with no means of following a
thread'.' It seems
I might not have the right set up. (I would prefer to use Outlook
Express rather than anything else) Would really appreciate some advice
as to what I should do? (Apologies for not explaining myself very well -
And please, the simplest piece of advice would probably be really
helpful)

I do hope your ISP carries Newsgroups, some don't these days. If they
don't you could subscribe to www.news.individual.net for Eu10 per
annum. Worth it anyway as they filter out much of the spam and troll
posts.


I endorse your recommendation of NIN which I think is excellent.

However since the OP says "all I get are loads of emails with no means of
following a
thread" it does seem that he is getting a news feed but cannot display it
correctly.
