   Perhaps you have better Usenet readers than I do. I use Thunderbird for   
   my mail/groups. All I see here is an indented black-and-white jungle.   
      
   However, I must admit I'm now considering looking for a Win/Linux   
   replacement, having used it for the last 15 years. The recent changes   
   have meant I have had to stick with v68 as various add-ons I find   
   essential no longer work with later versions.   
      
   Still, not bothering to investigate will save me a few hours of research   
   attempting to find a solution each time someone posts an interesting   
   query. Not that there seem to be many of us still around here to do so?
