Not OT : Woe is Mz Butterfly

Interesting that you should post this now. I was just search the group to find the name of the server that several on ATT have switched to when ATT dropped USENET. Help me too, please.

tools/accounts/news tab click add put news.aioe.org in for the server, put in a totally bogus email addy and return addy click apply and/or ok whatever shows there. news.aioe.org should then show up on the left of box under inbox, outbox, etc. now click on tools/newgroups should then tell you to ok downloading the looooong list of ngs available. this only need be done once but it is a long list so depending on your connection speed should be done in a few minutes. then you can go into tools/options/signature tab. be sure the signature text you enter is just for news, a box or dot to mark somewhere there. to show your real addy in your siggy, type it in with at for @ and dot for . like i'd have nzstar at yahoo dot com click apply/ok whatever that has. then close and reopen the whole program. now click on tools/newsgroups, enter quilt to search for rctq, should only give one result. click on subscribe and thats all there is to do. rctq will then show on left side menu under news.aioe.org subscribing is only for your program to know what ng you want to read. if you want others go back to the search and find whatever you fancy and subscribe, they'll show under rctq on the side menu. holler if you get stuck, j.

She is asking someone to email her at snipped-for-privacy@q.com and help her out, please.

Ginger in CA just the messenger her

Thanks but there was another server I was thinking of.

Thanks, Liz. That's what I was looking for

ok, i forgot that one as you have to register to use that server. you can put in both eternal-september and aioe. gives you higher chance of not missing any posts. j.

Set up and posting from eteral-september. Thanks.

That's the one I switched to from AT&T & have no complaints about it so far.

Looking good to me as well.

ok, i have reg'd to access and it now shows on side menu of my email reader with aioe. two servers ought to useful should one go down or cease to function thru my isp for whatever reason. i'll stick to aioe for the most part tho as i dont have to register to use it. j.

I've been trying to email her and having the emails bounce. So it's good to have the new address. I'll add it to my contacts.

It's really strange that you can still get the group on aioe. I used it a long time ago, then all messages quit and unable to use it ever again for RCTQ. Eternal September works very well. Gen

i guess it is strange. it has on the odd occasion not worked in the morning, then worked again later in the day. i'm assuming their in maintenence mode as can happen with any server. no big deal so far. i can always go read/reply on google but now i did take the time to reg and set up eternal-sept so its there if/when i feel the need. shrug, j.
