What do you use for a news server?

I'm using Eternal-September because my ISP doesn't offer one any longer.
It's free but you have to sign up with them.

So my server is news.eternal-september.org and the port is the default
NNTP (119)

Thanks Duane.

I thought I just needed to download Thunderbird. I'll download that other program too.

Cheers


Let me know if you have trouble figuring out how to add message filters.
lol

Will do. Message filters is THE reason I'm getting it.

Cheers

I never use any except one: When a thread goes off the deep end for my
taste I click Message - Ignore Thread. Works great.

THE FEELING OF POWER MASTERY CONTROL OF UNWASHED MASSES INFERIOR BEINGS KILL KILL

As you know, I track human and animal behavior's relationship to seismic activity.

Weeks since Nepal's quakes fell into line with previous observations in an unusual synchrony of odd happenings eg a planetary lineup and Spring. A high tide in the local cosmos.

Several posters I stumble around, usually mumbly and vague occasionally extremely bad tempered, suddenly bloomed into civility, complex thoughts, insights and intelligence. At more or less the same time.

If you already have Thunderbird you don't have to do anything on your
end. Just create a new Thunderbird account ( File, New). But you must
have a source for the messages that you will download so you must have
a news server account to furnish them. The simplest is to go to
Eternal-September of perhaps Albasani and register - it is free - than
you have a server address and a user name and password to configure
Thunderbird's new account.

But honestly it is much better to use a news group specific
application like Agent (there are others), or at least it seems
simpler to me :-)

I use both, because of certain limitations related to different computers
and different locations.

Thunderbird's user interface is light years better.
