ObReplytoObNewsHack: Wanna play headers...? Keep hearing talk about which newsreaders are easier to post with... Well I use tin for reading, but XVNEWS for posting. Mainly cos I HATE vi, which tin uses as it's text editor. (Yeah I'm NOT a UNIX guru... sorry, but I'm learning) Anyway, XVNEWS lets you do about anything to it's headers, pretty much without complaint, as far as I can see. Except the Path: one, everything is deisplayed for editting while you right your message. Andy. PS: Why don't we start a trend? See who can post the most interesting/funny/outrageous header - Without Disguising either their identity, or making email or reply postings impossible. IE. you can't alter the fundamental reason for the header, just the extra junk most readers insist on attaching. Let's have some fun. --- ---------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J.
