News reader?
Hi,
I am getting fed up with all the crap Xposted here which OE can't really deal with. I am looking for a newsreader but my searches seem to turn up RSS style readers instead of Usenet readers. Anyone recommend a FREE Windoze Usenet newsreader? I use PAN under Linux but there soesn't seem to be a Windoze variant. I would rather not pay for the software unless I have to; Agent looks O.K.but is $29. Cheers Dave R -- |

That's exactly what I do and it's very effective. -- Alan Reply to alan (dot) holmes27 (at) virgin (dot) net -- Regards Bob In Runnymede, 17 miles West of London |

I use OE and just put them in "Blocked Sender", takes but a second and they are gone forever. I know, but I have got bored with doing it, and besides they often change their ID. With Pan I can just block anything posted to e.g. more than 3 NGs and nearly all this dross goes away. A while back there was a problem with X-posts from uk.rec.yorkshire - I tried blocking all posts with this NG included, but I had to subscribe to the NG and then delete everything with the NG in the header. Very clunky. Someone else pointed me to a Windoze Pan so I will go and look there. Thanks Dave R |

Installed and working, and the first filter (posted to no more than 3 NGs) has got rid of all the dross! I just need to downsize the font and I'm sorted. Cheers Dave R |

Kill filing and X post management is simplicity itself, enabling you to avoid 95% or more of the rubbish intended to annoy. Dave, I have Forte Agent and the sortcut Ctrl + K brings up a Usenet Filter box. Is it not part of Agent? Pam in Bristol |
