Yeah - It's going nice now. I'm now successfully accessing my ISP's nntp
server.
The next big concern of mine is...
How on earth do I restrict the number of days or number of NG messages
that are stored on my HDD? I've not found any way to regulate that on
Mozilla, and I'm just a wee bit reluctant to look at some of the
high-volume groups that I read - for fear of running out of disc space.
Seth, I'm trying to be generally encouraging. I know that things take
time to do, and that things have to be done in an order of priority. I'm
really facinated by the changes that are taking place with Mozilla and
I'm looking fwd to installing Mozilla 1.0 when it's finally ready.
