Is it supposed to be hard? Damn, I should have struggled a bit first!

news:JZ7Ea.2494$0d7....@newsfep4-glfd.server.ntli.net...For some reason I thought it impossible to do this in OE without a
great deal of effort, so I just didn't bother researching - it was
easier to use another newsreader. I was promted to do some digging
when I saw such a post from OE; and indeed, it's quite simple.

I'm just diluvian.

I do see your posts quite often in here and a few other places -
although I read a tiny portion of Usenet regularly I don't post so
much these days.

Hmmm, probably not on the internet. It was only the year before my
first post here that I had a proper net connection and sought out
newsgroups. Before that I used private newsgroups at my place of work
and before that was briefly on Compuserve. Going back even further, I
was into computing but the personal computer hadn't been invented yet
and the [arpa/inter]net was in its infancy.

Don't it just! I can't believe it's that long ago but you're right.

Sounds like we have had somewhat similar career paths. I was operating
mainframes in the seventies, moved to programming mini computers, gave
it all up for a bit and returned via an old Apricot XT clone. Except,
when I packed it in I gave up work completely and lived off income
from renting out two rooms in my house. The best time of my working
life was with those mainframes and minis and yes, it was another life.
