Dave Gillingham ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To email me remove the .private from my email address. I use the build-in newsreader of Thunderbird (Mozilla). The only drawback is that it cannot handle multipart posts. But since multipart posting is never used in rgo and seldom in abpo Thunderbird fits for me. For newsgroups that do use multipart posting (like audio or video groups) good old Gravity is my favourite. It is small, simple and reliable. Greets, Niek |

I've never had a need for anything other than Outlook Express, which comes with all Windows XP installations. -Eric in SF www.orchidphotos.org "Dave Gillingham" wrote in message ...

Hi Dave, I use OutLook Express w/QuoteFix & Mozilla Thunderbird, both work
well especially for binaries. Any problems of missing posts etc., is usually the Server. -- Cheers Wendy Remove PETERPAN for email reply Eric Hunt wrote: Dave, I've never had a need for anything other than Outlook Express, which comes with all Windows XP installations. -Eric in SF www.orchidphotos.org "Dave Gillingham" wrote in message ...

Like Eric, I use the outlook express newsreader that comes with XP and just
about all microsoft operating systems. For the mac I use Mozilla's Thunderbird. When I got ticked off at outlook express I used the free version of Agent. The paid Agent has many bells and whistles. The free version just downloads posts - or pics on apbo. K Barrett "Eric Hunt" wrote in message ...

Like the other posters said... Depends on how much you want to do.
For me the only way to fly is with Agent, but that is because I am a newsgroup pig. I run multiple Agents with multiple servers on many boxes and many diff. operating systems (I am also part of the grid computing world) 24/7. Binaries uploading, downloading research, Email, filtering of posters and subjects.....etc. dude I'm planning to write an article on the orchid newsgroups, & usenet in general, for our society newsletter.

Kathy, I'll do that. I'm no expert though. It's just that when I mention
newsgroups at our society meetings I get lots of blank looks, with a few who nod understandingly. So I felt someone had to bite the bullet. Specially since most of them know far more about orchids than I (*not* false modesty), and a couple of them could be really helpful here on Aussie orchids if they chose to be involved. (Oops - I'm thinking of ANOS eligible plants especially, and the epiphytes/lithophytes in particular. I just realised what a slight the previous remark was to some of our Aussie contributors from down south.) The article will be pretty basic - what usenet is & how it works from the user perspective; what's involved in selecting & accessing newsgroups; what's involved in setting up a "typical" newsreader - if there's any such thing; a bit on netiquette.

What newsreaders do people use?
Thanks Dave. I'd think most of our societies have similar situations.
Knowledgeable people who just don't know how to work the internet to best advantage. If I may add my 2 cents, I think what stops people from using Usenet is that you have to ask your ISP what their news server is. Which necessitates yet another phone call to customer support, which takes time on hold... But once set up I've always been amazed at the number of groups that exist. When I started (12/95) there were a few thousand groups, like 5000 or so. Now there are over 12,000 last time I looked. I only subscribe to one other Usenet group - a mystery newsgroup, but I know there are ones on science fiction, books in general, any rock star or celebrity you care to name, engineering, universities. You name it. I've lurked in the one on growing marijuana because they know so much about getting plants to bud under lights. They are a skittish bunch, and if you aren't 'known' they don't answer you. (They also know alot about computer privacy and encryption). *G* K Speaking of ANOS, Tony Wakinson (Perth area) lurks here occasionally "Dave Gillingham" wrote in message ... Kathy, I'll do that.

You just change your name in your preferences, or where ever you set up your

If your ISP's news server doesn't carry ABPO, you would need to setup an account with a newsgroup provider. I've used several over the years, but have been very happy with the Newsguy.com service. They have accounts that cost as little as $3/month, and most of them include mailboxes so you don't have to post with your ISP/personal email addresses. You can connect to them with any newsreader (OE, Agent, etc.) and they also have a web browser interface similar to Googles. Just my $.02 :) Martin -- |
