Hi Tim,

 

Thanks for that got OE working now. One wonders why Microsoft would not have
included this in their supposedly more fully featured Outlook email client. 

 

Regards

Brian

Brian,

 

I frequent a number of newgroups anyway, so having DP postings as a
newsgroup feels natural to me. And Outlook Express is what I'm using so I
know it works with it.

 

I have Outlook Express configured with the server set as: news.gmane.org

 

Then I let it retrieve newsgroups. Then I subscribed to the
gmane.comp.db.dataperfect.general newsgroup.

 

Try those settings with Outlook Express and see if you get better results. I
don't use Outlook so I can't help you much there. Sorry.

 

Tim Rude

Hi Tim,

 

I should have searched back and read your posting on the 11th August about
the

Gmane MailingList archiver. Since posting are available quickly on gmane it
seems likely that the

problem is at the queueing to, or performance of, the SMTP server at the
host

for the dataperfect.nl mailing list.

 

Although gmane looks to be quick and has everything there, I must say I
prefer

getting postings in my email rather than opening a separate News Reader or
the

web interface of the Gmane site. My email client Outlook 2003 (or any

Outlook except Outlook Express) does not directly support NNTP news feeds
unless

you have a Exchange Server behind it. 

 

I have found a couple of Outlook Add-Ins which will add an NNTP reader to

Outlook but they are not free, and also I really do not want to stuff around

with Outlook without someones recommendation. Does anyone know a nice way

to handle NNTP messages in Outlook? 

 

As an interim I have tried unsuccessfully to use Outlook Express as my news

reader; it seems to be having problems finding the server at

nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.dataperfect.general  This might be a
firewall

issue for me, but before I go delving in that mess has anyone used Gmane
with a

News Reader or only the web interface?

 

For anyone who missed Tims August posting the web archive is at

http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.dataperfect.general 

 

Regards

Brian

And I see my reply on gmane 1 minute later. Now that's not too bad a
turn-around time.

I received this message via gmane at 9:08 CDT (4 minutes after Charlie sent
it).
