Need a free newsgroup reader
Thanks very much indeed for this, Lizzy.
I did have a quick look to see the first steps, but I honestly haven't had time to do the whole operation. Your steps are written so clearly, that I am hopeful I (even I!) will be able to complete the process successfully. If I do make it work, I'll let you know by posting a message through the system! I won't cancel my Giganews subscription until I do g Pat on the green ..

The New Account Setup window should automatically have "Newsgroup cccount" as the selected option. Click Next Fill in your screen name in the "Your Name" box and your email address in the "Email Address" box Click Next In the Newsgroup Server box type news.aioe.org Click Next If everything looks correct click Finish, then click OK in the Account Settings window. news.aioe.org should now appear in bold in the left hand side of your main Thunderbird window Right click on that bold news.aioe.org and select Subscribe... Wait a few moments for the list of newsgroups to appear in the list Type quilting in the box marked "Show items that contain:" and rec.craft.textiles.quilting will appear in the box below. Click in the little square by rctq so that it is ticked and then click OK. rctq should now appear under the bold news.aioe.org click on rctq and the new messages should appear in your message list (just like your emails do). Read & enjoy. Hope that helps Lizzy |
