Change of Address
It appears that Google (which seems to own this group) does not permit
change of address away from a gmail.com address. For years, I received summaries/digests of this group's messages on an Earthlink account, and now I'd like to change that to a cox.net account. Nowhere does Google seem to permit that, at least that I can find. I've explored using some other method to read this and other newsgroups, but none of them are satisfactory. For example, Mozilla has Thunderbird email which includes a newsreader, but it requires installation of new software and I'm satisfied with Mac's Mail on two computers. I'd appreciate any suggestions. BTW, while I have a gmail account, I do not use it for anything. If you would like to send me pvt email, try dc1999 at cox dot net. Thanks. Dave |

Looks like you are stuck, then. I have to wonder, if it works well, what's one more piece of software? The rule I use is to "use the right tool for the job." |

That means a real newsreader for USENET. I use pan, since I'm in a graphical environment. When I'm in a text-mode environment, I use slrn. slrn will use your favorite text editor by default; pan will let you invoke it with a command. Pretty handy if you're fussy enough to have a preference in text editors. (I like vim). -- Luigi de Guzman http://ouij.livejournal.com |
