Newsgroup FAQ & Outlook Express

I was skimming through recent posts to the list and saw one that mentioned a
FAQ page for the newsgroup. Anyone have the URL for this page?
Also, I've heard that if you're Outlook Express, your ASCII art won't look
right. I also have Eudora Pro, but I'm not familiar enough with it to know
how to subscribe to newsgroups with it. Any hints or ideas?
Thanks in advance!

PS- In skimming through posts, I've noticed a lot of great art! There are
some talented people around here! =)
Happy Holidays!

I think that the reason you could'nt find anything is that Eudora does'nt do news. Not to my knowlegde anyways .. If it did I'd be using it too. - CeeJay

In the menubar, click on "Tools => Options", click the button "Fonts" and choose "Courier New" in the "Proportional Font" caption. This should get you started. >I also have Eudora Pro, but I'm not familiar enough with it to know >how to subscribe to newsgroups with it. Any hints or ideas? I have some bad news for you, Eudora is strictly an E-mail client. Try downloading Forte Agent 1.7, it handles both E-mail and News and you can switch easily between a proportional and a fixed-width font. -- Peter Punk \ / ---\\\\--- / \ Disclaimer: Written by a highly caffeinated mammal.
