Hello Steve, Well the subject says it all!! You can use TB to read your newsgroups, but you have to use a third party program to act as a go-between.

Hi Steve, Sunday, March 16, 2003, 5:02:45 AM, you wrote: Well the subject says it all!! I used to use Gravity (registered version) when the program was still in production. When the company went out of business, I switched to another program. I heard that Gravity was taken over by another group and re-named Super Gravity, and it is still widely used. I know that while I was using it, I really liked its functionality. I can't speak for the program now, as I haven't yet tried out the new version. I can however recommend two other newsreaders, both of which I also registered: NewsRover http://www.newsrover.com Agent: http://www.forteinc.com I use Agent the most often, although Forte has still not added native support for multiple news servers. There *is* a work-around for this, and directions on their website on how to use multiple news servers with Agent. That's the method I use. There's one other newsreader that is free, and a lot of people seem to be happy with it. It's called Xnews http://xnews.newsguy.com/. I have also tried this one, and it's pretty good, although I felt more comfortable with the interface of both NewsRover and Agent. -- Best regards, Kim Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

And I actually prefer the workaround of using multiple copies as it allows me to use multiple identities ;-) Consequently, I can use identities that allow me to track where the spam from harvesting is coming from and avoid those newsgroups in the future.

Sorry, I didn't explain very well, although I did say i used it to avoid certain groups. What I meant was that I used different identities for each iteration of Agent (i.e. multiple copies of Agent each with a different reply to address). I used the spam volume to weed out groups which were heavily harvested (which could tell simply by the amount of mails) and switched to other groups with the same subject matter where spam volumes were low or non-existent (yes, there are some g). I'm sure that's not what you were assuming I meant, so sorry if I mislead you. -- Best regards, Mike Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
