Pronews Query

[Peter]

Hi Folks.

I am currently using Pronews v1.60 and when I started reading a new
group recently I noted that a lot of posting to the group uses HTML,
so I tend to get a sort of "double" chunk of text with each message.
Is there a way in Pronews to "turn off" the HTML part of the posts.
The group is -

gmane.comp.telephony.pbx.asterisk.user

Thanks...........pk.

In a word, no.

Well, since Asterisk runs on Linux, you could try asking them not to!

I can see that would probably be accepted with great relish (or go
down like a lead balloon).....;-)

Thanks anyway. Can we add that as a (remote) potental "feature" for
future work on Pronews (he says hopefully....;-)

Cheers.............pk.
