Subject: How to reply in an old thread
Date: Sat, 08 May 2010 19:26:09 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87vdayynzi.fsf@stats.ox.ac.uk> (raw)

I'm reading news groups using the nntp backend. How do I search for a
particular old posting, in order to reply in an old thread?

I've just switched to reading mailing lists via nntp; previously I just
signed up to have emails delivered from the mailing lists I
read. However, I am pretty clueless about nntp.

Thanks,

Dan
