      From: nospam.Christian.Sacks@f5.n250.z2.fidonet.org              On 01 Dec 2021, Edmund Wong said the following...               EW> Hi,        EW>        EW> I've set up NNTP access on my BBS and used my newsgroup client        EW> (SeaMonkey) to read messages.        EW>        EW> However, everytime I read one message, it'd ask if I want to subscribe        EW> to a messge#. How do I prevent this from happening? I'm guessing the        EW> NNTP server links messages using the message # based on the message base        EW> and not the actual newsgroup message id (or however that works).        EW>        EW> I've looked at the message base settings but haven't come across        EW> something that fixes this.        EW>        EW> Any clarifications appreciated,              Hi,              This isn't really any help, but maybe it's your NNTP client? I use claws mail       and thunderbird to access the echomail on my BBS via NNTP, and that doesn't       happen on my system, so I would suggest maybe it's your NNTP client.              Have you tried either of the above clients I use? Perhaps give them a look as       they might be better for your needs, unless the same happens with them too, and       you'll be back to the start.              Sorry that this isn't really a "help" but maybe something to think about at       least.              ...
