Thanks, but no thanks, and I could easily do that, and make
the fixes for all my other issues, but I have enough things
to worry about, rather than having to program my newsreader.

It is broken, if Netscape 6.1 is an "upgrade" to the
previous versions, which the popup ads keep telling me it
is, but which people in this group keep saying it isn't. And
I'm not confused at all by the loss of the ability to format
my text. And the loss of ability to search for newsgroups,
and save binaries and preview my posts accurately before I
send them, etc...etc...etc...etc...and this silly
UNKNOWN ERROR 80004005 which keeps popping up every five
seconds.
Annoyed by a very flawed product, yes, confused, no.
