| When viewing in Google Groups, the original post is masked by | subsequent posts with a different subject. My ISP's news server only | works for me when I am connected locally, not when I am travelling. | So I've moved over to just using Google Groups for viewing and | interacting with newsgroups. As far as I know, that is unusual behavior. In Outlook Express and, I believe, other readers I have used, the original subject is the one displayed. And if I have already downloaded the original title and marked the post as read, any reponse is just spam that prolongs the junk. So please do not do this. tjr -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
