Netscape is a WWW-browser with the later extended capability to read/write news and r/w email. Something like NN or TIN is a common newsreader (on *nix). > You will see more and more people with newsreaders like that even if you post > the FAQ every hour. Because they're not reading any doc...

TIN which does not show the garbage in the new version (see header) and Free Agent which does show the garbage. Netscape as a newsreader? Bleah! Bye,

You will see more and more people with newsreaders like that even if you post the FAQ every hour. --------- Sarah, I don't think that your newsreader is the cause of your problem. Cut and paste is a function of the computer Operationg System (not a function of your newsreader or any other program) and if that does not work, than you may have a computer configuration problem. Get a computer guru friend to troubleshoot. It is not really possible to troubleshoot from afar. =========================================================== [] [] [] ,, (__) As bride and groom we hail [] [] ( "> <" ) all devils with but one tail [] [] ,(> )><( <), [] [] ( ^^ ^^ ) http://www3.sympatico.ca/petecasso/ [] [] [] ===========================================================

Maybe you should try a different news program...? The one you're using now is obviously not very user-friendly. Do you have a copy of Netscape 3? It has a news program that will send plain-text without too much trouble.

Sarah, If you are newsposting with Outlook Express don`t you email with it too, therefore not helping you at all to email stuff? Outlook express is *very* iffy with ascii art when copy-pasted into it... can you paste it into Outlook Express and then take a screengrab and email it to me? In case you don`t know, you press Print Screen (PrtSc) to take a screengrab in windows, then do paste in a paint program. I would prefer a .GIF file if you can, as a 640x480 .BMP is very big and most people have their screens even bigger! I reccomend Free Agent... I use it for newsposting and Outlook Express for my email and F A has many more features. |\/| _..__|_o._ /\_|_| o._ _ mart.atkins@-- | |(_|| |_|| | /--\|_|<|| |_> --bigfoot.com
Yes, but I have tried emailing it. It works there, but somehow not when I
try to put it on a newsgroup. I'll see if it will work this time.
