Is there a way we can make new posts pop such as the subject line in
caps to make it pop against all the spam that's found it's way into this group? |

Thanks for the input. I didn't know what it was as I am fairly new to the computer world taking baby steps from the mail station, webtv and now the computer. Patience is required for some of us. :-) |

If you're using google groups, they don't filter.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - sniff, sniff...here I am thinking I was all that signing up for the Reader (Google) and what did I see when I used it...the same spam, spam, spam. Since some of us do see it and others don't I will just be quiet about the whole thing. But for those lucky ones I will just say there's a good 10 to 12 pieces of spam each day to purchase things on E-bay. |

I happen to use Mozilla Thunderbird as my server, and news.eternal september.org as my reader. Both are free, and seem to work well, filtering out the spam. Perhaps one of our more computer-savvy posters can give you step-by-step directions for how to get there. Olwyn Mary in New Orleans |

There's several free ones, aioe.org and eternal-september.org. Go to the websites and see how to configure the reader to use them. |

Olwyn Mary in New Orleans That's what I use, mostly eternal-september with nntp.aioe.org as a back up. They filter out the junk on most of my groups. Some of the groups just get an inordinate amount of spam that the filters are slow to catch, but for most groups nearly all of it is filtered out. |
