As they're -=web sites=-, not newsgroups or email, you can't get to the groups -=directly=-. Once you sign up with a group on Yahoo, your options are to receive individual posts or daily digests via email. You can then reply to the group through your email. Haven't a clue about goggle - don't use it. I use Google, but only the web interface. I see that if I subscribe to a group I can similarly get e-mails either as a summary or in full as a package, but I don't see much point in clogging up my own machine with loads of posts many of which which I won't have time or interest to read. The web interface with a list of threads I can pick and choose from works fine for me. But I know there are lots of people who feel using newsgroups this way is quite beyond the pale and I should spend good stamping money on a "proper" newsreader. Chris |

I use Thunderbird for both e-mail and newsgroups. It's free and works quite well. I have used for years Outlook Express (and now Windows Mail) for both e-mail and newsgroups. They are free and work also quite well (IMHO). Any attempt to use something else led me to disasters. The worst experiences were reading the newsgroups directly from Internet (for instance thru the so-called Google or Yahoo Groups). And, more recently, using Windows LIVE Mail, the most intrusive piece of software ever invented by some crazy developers from µ$oft ... and now imposed by them when you buy Windows 7. Fortunately there are some means to by-pass their diabolic trick, using Windows Mail (which comes freely with Windows Vista). -- All the best, Pierre Courtiade to answer me, please replace NOSPAM by my family name |

Right Rod ! I see you are using OE 6, thus I imagine you are with Windows XP ? If one day you are going to Windows 7, please tell me and I'll try to find for you a page in English explaining how to implement Windows Mail instead of this filth of Windows LIVE Mail : it was not so easy to do that myself, even with detailed explanations in French ... There is only one big drawback in OE (and Windows Mail) : the method of quotation (answering at the top of the text). Fortunately, there is a small fix to this, named OEQuoteFix. And OE QuoteFix works perfectly as well with Windows Mail ! -- All the best, Pierre |

Thanks Pierre, yep, using XP, I like it even more than W98 which I thought I would have forever. I am due to get a new Computer System, I am going to stay with XP I feel. If I go W7 then I shall make it a point (on your advice) the builder retain OE (put the onus on him I was a breath away from signing for a $1500 system, but I have re assessed and will accept the $1000 but no wriggly bits. I keep the monitor etc from this system.

But to my best knowledge, it it is technically *impossible* to put OE on a W7 machine. But putting OE's clone (Windows Mail) instead is perfectly possible. Not so easy, but I am sure your builder will know how to do it. -- All the best, Pierre |

Depending upon your ISP's choice [if any!] you may of may not like the service and ind yourself right back on goggle's boggle. Goggle's boggle? I like that even better than google's boogle. g I don't have Windows 7 yet, but Thunderbird plays nicely with Vista and isn't that different from OE. I use TBird, my wife uses OE8 with Windows XP and is quite happy with it. Bill |

I use TBird, my wife uses OE8 with Windows XP and is quite happy with it. Bill I also use Thunderbird on a 32 bit Vista machine for accessing this newsgroup and have no problems with it. Thunderbird is the continuation of the old Netscape e-mail / newsgroup software from the days when Netscape was the dominant browser rather than Internet Explorer (late 1990s, by my memory). I do have issues when travelling, however. Shaw is my ISP in Canada, and unless I'm accessing the internet through one of the other Shaw servers (only available in Canada), I can neither access newsgroups nor send e-mail via Thunderbird (incoming via POP3 is OK, sending via SMTP doesn't work). In such cases, I have to use my webmail accounts for e-mail. I've fussed with that for a long time and have never figured out how to handle it correctly. Ryan |
