[OT:] What's your news reader do with this or that? |
|
|
Followups to SEB, please.
When you reply to a x-posted article, does your reader warn you that
you're x-posting?
When you reply to this, do you get a warning that a followup flag
was set?
Does your reader automatically honor the followup flag, i.e., only
set the groups line to that followup group?
What's your reader?
Do you give a damn? ;)

Yep. Asks me if I want to allow them all or just to the group I'm
currently viewing.

Nope. It just puts me there.

I don't give a damn. My pipe tobacco gives me a warning that the state
of California had determined that smoking it will produce birth defects. I
still smoke it. Besides, if I get pregnant, I've got bigger problems than birth
defects.

I don't give a damn. My reader doesn't bother me and I don't try to

Not really, although I do get irritated by those who clamor over
cross-posting. Good news-readers, such as Agent, only show one
instance of a cross-post. Why is it some people want to use archaic
tools and then bitch like it's my problem that their tools don't stand
up (:-) to the challenge?

I hope you're not referring to me and I'm not bitching about you.
Mine has crosspost management settings (mark it read, don't retrive,
etc.) and I can turn off the warnings. I was just wondering what
other people's clients did. I leave the warnings on to remind me not
to reply to, for instance Rich, and have it end up in the wicca or
witchcraft groups. No need dragging any replies from those people
back here :) No. I'm not afraid of witches. I don't imagine you want
me inviting them here, either.

I think I was a bit too terse here. What happens is this:
If I reply to a cross-posted article which does not have followup set (as
many seem not to have), I get a warning "crossposting without setting
followup, do you want do do this?"
I suppose the same thing happens if I originally cross-post, but I don't
usually do that.

Pan only warns if followup is not set, and silently honors the followup if
it is set.

I think you'll find I'm now the same as Rich, 0.14.2.91. I built a new one
at the weekend. There's been a different tag line for each version for
some time. The last but one was "This isn't a psychotic episode, it's a
cleansing moment of clarity". There is a Windows build out there, take a
look at http://pan.rebelbase.com/.
Oh, yes, Pan will recognize oddball quote characters, optionally mutes
quoted text, and drops signatures from quoted messages.

Interestingly, Pan seems to have no facility to post with attachments.
Whenever I want to post a binary to a.b.s.e, I have to use knode. Which
is an OK newsreader, too, but there's just something about Pan. :-)

Yikes! Pan for winders is a devil worshipper! It ignores my default
browser setting and opens IE for a link, thereby reinstalling the
Alexis spyware.
Must release judgements. I am not bad for having evil stuff like IE
on my winders box. It's ok to feel that MS is evil and Pan knows not
what it does. What am I forgetting here, Rich? Other than a big pot
of coffee and a collection plate ;)
Maybe I'll get lucky and by having ZoneAlarm deny access and gaffing
IE, it didn't have a chance to do the dirty deed.
Whew! Safe and clean. I could feel the flames licking at my sockets.

Try "Edit/Preferences/Apps&Mail" and put in the name of the browser
you want in the textbox labeled: "Web Browser (%s is URL)". :-)

I've used Linux and Free BSD for file servers and they work great. I
just need to get a new version of Mandrake and another box. My old
Redhat is just to buggy (?) and slow on the old 450 MHz box I used.
I don't want to post re the Samba / XP problem(s) while I'm using
such an old version.
