Hello Jim,

thanks for the answer, the rest is below:

Netscape 4.73.

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!

That would be really great (Have to believe you with old server, can't proof
it :)

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 :)?

Great, than it is in our hands!

Best regards,
