FWIW, I wasted about an hour of my time chopping and changing the default installation settings for the fonts/character sets (and a bunch of other settings) in 40Tude to try and make that [garbage/-] between the 14 and the 25% "go away". It downright refused. I even looked at the same message using 3 (make that 4 - installed XPN too) different newsreaders (well, if you can call Thunderbird a newsreader) and all of them showed either the [-] or [some garbage] - and all of them were set to different fonts/character sets...

Ahem, if you would be so inclined as to read upthread, the original "hissy shit fit" about seeing it as 1425% was yours. I was just giving said "hissy shit fit" the attention you always expect.

It downright refused. I'm sorry I made stick your nose into this thread and accuse me of lying to get attention. I didn't know those 4 innocent words would set you off into this tirade and cause you to spend hours of your precious time trying to prove it. For that, I am deeply sorry. Really, I am. Honestly. I feel real-ly bad about this whole thing. What can I do to make it up to you? -sw |

How are you > killing googlegroupers in Knode? Whoa. I used Knode for a while but I never worried about filtering. That's some pretty convoluted filter wordage there. I would show you mine but you'd just be jealous. OK, here goes: -1 message-id googlegroups Dialog works under Wine, FWIW. -sw |

How > are you killing googlegroupers in Knode? > It can be done (OK, I admit it, I actually had to RTFM <g>) Turns out it's fairly simple and it's mostly "point and click". Trick is to create a 'scoring rule' in conjunction with a 'killfile' filter. If you're still interested as to exactly how I did it, drop me a mail at webmaster (at) recfoodcooking (dot) com and I'll tell ya... -- Cheers Chatty Cathy |

As I've mentioned (a couple of times) before (in my opinion) 40Tude is not too shabby as far as newsreaders go (and the fact that it's free to home users doesn't hurt either) - but it doesn't do anything I don't already have (or need) in my newsreader(s) of choice. Of course, you (being such a computer genius and all) are welcome to go ahead and explain it. -- Cheers Chatty Cathy |

Too much maintenance, nasties and just > plain wierd stuph on Windows these days. I forget which version of Wine I was using (under SuSe10), but getting the fonts and character sets correct were a little tricky. So it doesn't surprise me that either of you had problems. I love Dialog and would never give it up. I especially like colorizing followups to my posts so when I'm in a hurry I can just scan the threads for a watch symbol, then scan the thread itself for followups in a different color.

Of course, you (being such a > computer genius and all) are welcome to go ahead and explain it. i like 40tude dialog a great deal, after using agent for many years. but i think the key thing (even for non-computer geniuses) is not to use a browser-based reader. your pal, blake |

The rest of the "hissy fit" was completely yours, dear. OK, I'll let you have 4 words. It's still not a "hissy fit". Now, with that in perspective, don't you feel kinda silly? That two (or four) little words sent you off into a multi-day tirade with you spending hours trying to prove I lied about what I saw on my screen? Because you sure as hell looked silly. -sw |
