I use Mozilla's Thunderbird. LOVE IT. And it is free!


I've heard wonderful things about Thunderbird; but again, it's a news
*reader*, and LN is looking for a news *server*.

So she is - I obviously need a brain overhaul - that's what comes of
reading before I've had my breakfast and replying to messages on a
wave of early (for me) morning enthusiasm! Have never been at my best
in the mornings - evenings are slightly better!

I think LN is looking for another "news server". Free Agent is what is used
to read the messages, but you need to connect to a server first to get the
messages. My ISP (Comcast) allows me to connect to their news server and I
use Outlook Express to read those messages.

There are some free news servers out there, but many of them do not allow
posting, and others may not carry a full line of newsgroups, so you have to
do a lot of searching through the server links to find one that works.

Oh yes! Please do. I like to have a backup. Mine gives me fits every now and
then.

I feel your pain. The free one I used isn't free anymore and I am using
the
one provided by Comcast. It's not too bad and my posts show up very
quickly. I am using a free one on my laptop though. I will forward the
name to you. It's not bad.

of

the NG

and
a

need

version.
The
: reason for this is twofold - LN gets the accurate and any updated
: information and the data captured by the form is sent to a "unique"
file
: which is used by LN to create the various formats sent to you. The
deadline
: is necessary since LN then takes that file and reformats it into the
formats
: you requested. This takes some time to do and if the reformatting had
to be
: done for each straggler, the Directory would never get published.
:
: The form is easy to complete and gives you a confirmation page of your
: submission information which you can print out and save.
:
: I realize that there will always be someone who misses the deadline
for
any
: number of valid reasons, but hopefully, everyone will see one or more
of
the
: notices sent out ahead of time so everyone will have an opportunity to
get
: into the Directory should they so choose. Plus, I have a vested
interest in
: this whole adventure - I know there has got to be more than 4 quilters
in
: NJ - there just has to be!!
