I downloaded PC Pine version 3.96 for DOS. I installed it and later I replied to the list: "Works GREAT !! and I love the news (NNTP) part of it !" I was reading and posting news while logged on to the IMAP server at "Subdimension.com" Then I recall seeing some opinions posted saying that this activity had nothing to do with IMAP servers because I was using the news server that is supported by my own ISP, "news.shentel.net" Yet I still feel that somehow the IMAP server at Subdimension.com was somehow managing the way I was dealing with newsgroups. In the manner of IMAP, I was manipulating the newsgroup posts while they were still on the server. I could read the headers and selectively tag the posts for download or deletion, or I could view the posts while they were still on the server. If I were to use a POP3 client and newsgroup getter such as Net-Tamer, I would log on to my own ISP and Net-Tamer would go fetch all the newsgroup posts and download everything to my hard drive. No way of manipulating the messages while they are still on the server in this case. When I log on to the IMAP server at Subdimension.com with PC-PINE everything is handled differently with regard to managing newsgroup postings. Therefore, I disagree with the opinion that the IMAP server at Subdimension.com has absolutely nothing to do with the way I was dealing with newsgroups. If anyone should like to discuss this matter, please respond in private because this subject has drifted way off topic.
