Hello Jim, thanks for the answer, the rest is below: > first off, what news client are you using? Netscape 4.73. > Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > 1.)

You were right with the client, I've just tried it with Outlook Expr. and can read them there. I didn't know that there is already a web-interface, but IMHO the usability of a web-i/f (in general, not esp. this one) can't be as good as with a news-client. But anyhow, I appreciate your efforts! > > 2.)

That would be really great (Have to believe you with old server, can't proof it :) > in general, because these are really mail messages, the threading > won't be as clean as a traditional newsgroup. (it really depends on > how forgiving the client is of seeing 'In-Reply-To' headers versus > 'References' headers.) Hm... I'm not an expert, but if e.g. "Re: [PHP-NOTES] note 13852 ....." works with "Re: [PHP-DOC] Re: [PHP-NOTES] note 13852 .....", Why doesn't then "Re: [PHP-DEV] Security?" work with "RE: [PHP-DOC] Re: [PHP-DEV] Security?" ? And a general thought: I've just seen the message: "Re: [PHP-DEV] Re: [PHP-DOC] Re: [PHP-DEV] Security?" Is there a possiblity to stop this "re:[xx]re:[xx]re:[xx]"-inclusion after a certain "cycle"? (but bring it into the thread :)? > > Does anybody know who is in contact with the provider? > > we are the provider. Great, than it is in our hands! Best regards, Thomas
