Ahh,Back on The Newsgroup...
Jeff Grimm
because I had to set up my new internet account through Outlook
Express which IMO would be the closest thing to George Orwell's
"1984" default e-mail and newsgroup system.It has absolutely no
color,you have to constantly log on with your password,and the
newsgroup interface is about as interactive as an isolation booth.
I couldn't see any of my posts,or remember who I even posted to
in the first place,and...well I'll stop,but it's great to be
back with Netscape.At least I feel apart of the group again.

Hey, OE isn't that bad...
Well, it's better than posting with Deja, at least.
Welcome back.

OE4 was quite good IMHO OE5 is a bit crap for news.
I don't know why you have to keep putting in your password though. Are you
sure that both OE and your networking options are properly configured.

Hmmm... I use Outlook and I never even had to put in my password since the
time I set it up. Might be because I have it told to not ask me for it
anymore, though. I agree with you about the color thing, though. Sometimes
I need to close the window to look at my Hitman: Codename 47 wallpaper and
bask in its coolness.

that was weak.The newsgroup was like watching it from a distance.

been nice.I guess since I didn't pick to have it remember my password
it would ask me.Anyway,I'm glad I can view it through Netscape again.
I'm just so used to using the newsgroup that way.

group and it killed me to not be able to see my posts and replies to
my posts through Outlook.And I guess it was sending my replies to the
other person's inbox which I feel defeats the purpose of the newsgroup
in the first place.It's a group,not a one on one thing.If that's the
case,then you can CHOOSE to send something directly to that person.
Anyway,warm up the belt sander and bring me some shins! LOL

I've always thought support for skins would be nice and easy to implement.
Ah, chalk it up to Microsoft not knowing who their consumer is. I think
Microsoft is the only company that publishes business software filled with
amusing cartoon characters and easter eggs and recreational software that is
more boring than a debate between Al Gore and a flat grey wall.
