I've just realised that users of Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail
already have a news client available to them. So the latest version is:

"Welcome to any newcomers to uk.rec.gardening!

This group is designed to be used as a Usenet newsgroup.
You may be reading it via a website such as Garden Banter or
Garden Alley, which copies our messages. On such websites
you may not get access to posting unless you register with them.
With a newsreader program you have direct access to the group
without registration. You may also find that the presentation of each
message with its replies is easier to follow. Windows Mail and
Windows Live Mail contain a newsreader client but if you do not
already have one you can choose from the many offered he

Looks good to me, thank you for taking the time.
I use Windows Live Mail and the newsreader is not as good as it should be,
the lack of quoted text marks being one example, but it will get anyone into
proper Newsgroups directly provided their ISP carries them. Now that is
another problem. :-)
