Eric, I ended up using outlook express and trust me that causes me great pain. I can't figure out how to get Unison to cope with the html codeing in the messages. I guess if I could resolve that, I'd be in business. COnsidering I just dropped $39 for Fusion and luckily I have a free copy of Xp Pro, I at least wouldn't have to spend $25 for Unison as well. What a bummer though, I wish someone could get a mail client like Apple Mail to handle news groups. I am not sure I'm totally in love with how Unison does it, but until I find something like Mail, I guess I'll suffer with outcrook express.

tnx

Erm, well they are different protocols I guess.

I don't really know much about rss feeds and how they work, but I suspect in application there is very little difference. News groups are a time honoured tradician though, and the method of data collection and retention they use is a bit different from rss feeds.

Best,

Erik

Hi.

What's the differences between rss feeds and newsgroups? I thought it was the same?
Best regards

Eric, I might be a bit ignorant here, but I assumed by providing my e-mail address and the server settings I would somehow automatically be joined. I guess I see what your saying, but at the same time I shouldn't be able to see the groups, correct? Maybe I'm missing something here and any light you can shed on this would be appreciated. This shouldn't be so difficult.

Hi Scott,

You have to subscribe to the group you want and download it's headers before unison will show you the messages. There ott to be a way to bookmark favourite groups too, but I haven't really gotten that to work too well yet.

Best,

Folks,

I grabbed a copy of Unison as it seems to be the only program that will do what I want., but I can't quite get there all the way. Seems I can see the list of groups for the most part, but no messages within the groups. I tried arrowing to the right and just get a blank area. ANy thoughts?

tnx
