Thor, on the amiga treated newsgroups and mail as interchangeable, and I found that to be useful until the spammers came to the party. Then it didn't bother me a bit to lose that when I first fired up the first linix box I built in 1997. NNTP is the news reader and I don't even know if its installed. Shrug. 10 am here, waiting for the coffee pot to make some plasma. Thanks. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
