Tom, Chris, Larry, Anyone...

The OE reader is a definite improvement. Now, one more
question:

I wanted to post, and clicked on Reply, which opened my
MSN Mail. Well, those two programs didn't seem to mesh, so
I went to set up a Mail account in OE. One question:

What is the name if my Incoming (HTTP) Server, if I am on
MSN?

MSN mail doesn't work well through OE since they eliminated POP3 accounts.
You can use OE strictly for news if you like and use your MSN mail for your
email.

Further, when you are at a newsgroup server and not in regular email, it
might be a good idea if you remove the "Reply" button, leaving only the "New
Post" and "Reply Group" button. That way you will not be able to
accidentally send an email to a poster rather than post or reply to the NG.
Such an unintentional email will reveal your real email address to someone
unnecessarily.
