Does my gmail account do that? Or, do you mean google groups posts?




No. But you are not using gmail to post you are using:

X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.5931

So it works properly.

But it appears above that when yo reply to Dave your reader formats it
properly. Damn I wish I knew what causes that. It only seems to happen when
i reply to a google poster. I've noticed a couple of other people here have
the same issue. Anybody know how to fix?

I installed OE-Quotefix to improve the quoteing. It's not perfect, but it does
help a lot.

I don't use OE so I don't have those problems. I use Agent, it's far
superior.

Seems to work. Have to start OE from a differrent place but I can work with
that. Now when I try to reply to a google post i see it unquoted for half a
second, bit of a flicker, then its set like any other.
Thanks.

I just tried posting. It worked. Everybody try a mess of test posts
and report back... Do it NOW!

Which free server do you use?

Dave
nntp.aioe.org

Thanks! I'll check it out.

Also eternal-september.org. Free, lots of groups, good retention, no
binaries. You need a REAL mail/newsreader like Thunderbird, Outlook,
Agent (is that still around?) etc., NOT a web-based 'reader' like google
groups. Indeed, many people automatically delete messages from people
who post at the googlegroups website (NOT people who use gmail
adderesses, that's completely different).

I know YOU know that, Cartman, it's for the benefit of others.

I'm posting from there now. Downloaded Thunderbird and installed it on
my Mac; it ran like a champ. First thing I've liked on this ****ing
