Glad you are enjoying news.individual.net. I've used them for some
years since my ISP stopped carrying Usenet (they were free then) but
even when they introduced a charge, I wouldn't swap them.


It seems great so far! This is my first dip into newsgroups in about
10 years so I'm something of a beginner (again)!


Hi Jamie.
I've always used Outlook Express simply because it came free with my
machine and I see no major problems with the reply setup. The cursor is
placed at the top when you reply.


Mine doesn't. It is placed at the bottom.


The one thing that does (mildly) annoy me about OE is the way it doesn't
wrap lines properly to line up quote marks () when several previous
people's msgs have been requoted. I normally do this manually to keep
the quote marks in the right places if I remember. I suppose if I was
writing loads of msgs all the time it might get too much to put up with
though. There is a free add-on I believe which overcomes this glitch if
you need it.

Mine usually wraps fine with but I've noticed that my replies often have
short rows in them instead of going to the end of the page as I sent.
Probably my fault as I might not have my machine set up correctly.
