Yes, so do I. But Outlook Express doesn't do that. Sadly it is not
really meant for chatty chappies like us but for straight simple
emails I'm afarid. On OE you do get the tittle of the

subject/thread
and the poster's name but if no quote from previous post you

cannot
tell to whom or to what it is in responce of. A responce from
Kathryn as it was, was like a little cry in the deepest night from
somewhere far away


Can't you highlught what you want to quote, then hit 'reply'?

Frayed knot. You have to hit "Reply group", and then, in the window
which appears, highlight and delete extranery. It's ok when you're
used to it, and in any case better than Google Groups, for which you
have to know a secret they don't tell you, for their own mysterious
Googular reasons. (You don't hit "Reply" in GG, or you'll get a blank
window and risk social pariah status. Instead, you have to hit "Show
Options" and then the "Reply" in the heading which appears: that
displays the message you're replying to and allows you to carry out
Christian editing.) GG doesn't even store your signature for repeated
use, as in

That's correct. Rusty and I use the same newsreader.


Yes, so do I.


No, you do not.


Yes I do. As I mentioned earlier, I use it at work, for a local forum
but not gardening ones. I don't mix business with pleasure. Yet.

Nope! You were referring to OE which *I* use. Janet and Rusty, as they have
said, use a different one - their ISP's own newsreader.

And this is progress?

The ZIMACS way has been a feature for more than ten years.

Janet's injecting a little Panto.

We both use ZIMACS, the best newsreader in the World.

10/10 for perseverance. Can you now explain to La puce the differences
between Linux and Windows so she can tell which one she is using (at work or
home)

Janet, oh Janet, I am in trouble with my newsreader at home. On this
(personal) computer I use Turnpike, obviously I cannot use my third
other computer for newsgroups as it is an NHS one and cannot download
newsgroups. So not to confuse you any further, at home I go into Google
to read the n.g.

I cannot tell which posts I have read on Google and I cannot reply as is
asks me to register - and when I do, I can't click on the link and
then....and so on...........

Sacha was kind enough to email me to try and help and through her at
least I can read on Google otherwise I wouldn't have even known that.

What is the purpose of this ramble, oh yes., does anyone have a copy of
Turnpike I can use at home. I subscribe to Demon and they gave Turnpike
away initially but I don't know where to get one now.

On another note, I have got elephants in my attics - that's what it
sounds like, though I suspect they have long tails and therefore I shall
have to get the vermin man in again.

The first indicator is the 'Crash Co-efficient', or the frequency of the BSOD.

At work I use OE windows. At home I use the web.

You can download the latest turnpike from Demon

double click or paste this into your browser (or use an ftp program)

ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/mirrors/turnpike/ev605.exe


ev605.exe is the latest issue version (6.05) with Quick Start Guide,
User Manual, DUN and foreign dictionaries.

alternatively, change the ev605.exe to entire.exe - this is the latest
issue version including *all* components.

I'd guess that ev605.exe is fine.

If you already have a version of TP on your machine, you can download an
upgrade version
