OT Q for Noreen
Thanks Noreen, for some reason I thought you knew about Pine from a very old
message which I don't have any more. David On Fri, 9 Nov 2007, YarnWright wrote: David R.

I don't HAVE pine, so can't answer your query anyway! I only saw this as I was exit-ing, and thought you deserved at least an acknowledgement that I had seen it.

OT Q for Noreen
YarnWright wrote:
I had attempted using Pine, but found it to be too NON-user-'friendly" for me, David.... Wow, really? That was my first news reader, and I loved it. It was really fast and I could read TONS of newsgroups and sift things out nicely in a short period of time. Those were the days before the WWW, though, and I don't know how I would handle surfing to web links on PINE, though. -- Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it.

Hi melinda, I originally asked for Noreen to email me about this since it's off-topic for this group. I want to know how do I change my email address when posting to a ng so I don't get spam Those were the days before the WWW, though, and I don't know how I would handle surfing to web links on PINE, though. I'm using Pine 4.61 on a unix shell to read ng's and also email on this account - I've set up Pine so I can click on and visit a link using Lynx, a text-only browser which has been on all Unix accounts I've used. There are two or three settings in the configuration section of pine to set this up. As I understand it, there is also a Windows version of pine. Thanks David -- David R.

OT Pine was Q for Noreen
"David R. Sky" wrote in message . bc.ca... I originally asked for Noreen to email me about this since it's off-topic for this group. I want to know how do I change my email address when posting to a ng so I don't get spam Here's what I do. Where you have the at sign, just write "at", and where there is a period or dot, just write "dot", with spaces between the words. I'm guessing (but could be wrong) that the "wapvi" doesn't belong in your addy shown here, so you could also tell people to leave out whatever doesn't belong. If my e-mail address were , I would write it as shelagh at cat dot howl. I hope this helps. Shelagh |

OT Pine was Q for Noreen
Thanks Shillelagh,
I'd tried that several times over the years without success. After someone else here suggested googling, that's what I did *chuckle* and found the cumbersome solution.
