Did you get my e-mail about using L-Space? I've abandoned Shaw for
newsgroups altogether.

Everybody: I can't stop TBird from sending this to the group as well as
April, so I apologise.
April: I'll send this by Shaw e-mail, which does still work - so far. I
sent you an e-mail when they first started spoiling everything a while
back about using L-Space on Thunderbird or using Seamonkey as your
newsreader, but you didn't answer, so of course it's entirely possible
that Shaw ate it. Anyway, you could try going to the L-Space site and/or
you could try Seamonkey instead of Microsoft - either works for me, and
one doesn't have to try to explain what a newsgroup is to the allegedly
technical help at Shaw.

I'm using Mozilla Thunderbird. About a half hour ago, while reading
this newsgroup, I started getting blank messages when clicking on a
header. I changed servers and got the same result. I then subscribed
to alt.books.pratchett and alt.config and got the same result. I then
rebooted and reopened Thunderbird and everything worked right again,
so I dumped alt.books.pratchett and alt.config and returned to reading
alt.fan.pratchett.

Nope. Shaw continued in its evil ways today. I even did the
unsubscribe and resubscribe, and all that did was make it say
that aaaaaaalllllllll the messages were no longer on the service.
I'm back with individual, which was always good to me.
Take that evil Shaw with desiccated coconut sprinkles.[1]
April.

Can't you? Should just be able to change the 'From' account to an email
account and that should take care of it. Admittedly, that does mean you
have to have an email account set up in Thunderbird...

Shaw e-mail identity for newsgroups. It would be nice though, since
TBird sent the message to afp, who didn't need it, but not to April. Who
also didn't need it since she's solved the problem herself, but that's
not the point.

The email account I have set up in Thunderbird isn't the one I use for
newsgroups, but I can still use the 'From' dropdown to switch which
account I'm using to send... Right-click post, choose 'reply to sender
only', switch from to the email account, and it works...
You can skip the right-click bit, but you'd have to fill in the email
yourself, which is probably not ideal.

using a Mac - different version of TBird and no right-click. Also for my
non-newsgroup mail I use a different identity on Apple's Mail program,
which TBird doesn't seem to know about any more than it knows about my
Seamonkey identity (why should it, after all?). Also, for newsgroups and
newsgroup mail, even though I go through my Yahoo account instead of my
Shaw account, I still have to use the Shaw server, since verily my ISP
is a jealous ISP and will tolerate no other, and anyway we'd have to pay
for another.
So I sent my message to April again via my Mail identity, but as I said
she didn't need it. The whole thing was rather pointless, really, except
that April told me some really good news in her reply, which is nice.

Well. If you get a two-button mouse, it's entirely possible to
right-click on a Mac unless you have a very old one indeed. But that's
not really the point. ;)

So not pointless at all, in fact. Good news is always worth a bit of
effort.

Or hold down the control key while you click, which also works under
Windows and *nix.

Oh yes, indeedy. I have new employment that I am very excited
about (previously very worried about), and I am not speaking
too detailedly about it for a while because of fear of jinx.
I am very happy about it, though. :)
April.
