Voilà, newsgroup marked as > read. > many thx massimo - for this as well as the info about how and why the author shows up the way it does earlier. newsgroups certainly require a different way of thinking about how to do things than forums - like when you're asked how many items to download when you go into a group ... i just never know. :D also, i haven't figured out how to search effectively in a newsgroup (with gnus or claws-mail). on the web, i can just go to the search box the newsgroup provides, but here i'm not sure what to do, yet. there is likely some mechanism to archive and create indices - mairix possibly though the manual seems to indicate it's for email. anyway, time to go study the manual! -- In friendship, prad
