thank you, Alex, I understand that now

Apologies but I only found out about UE yesterday ... and that was by complete accident! I'm sure theres a lot of people like me that still don't know about it. Maybe Alex could have mailed existing NewsPro users? ........ (It's taken me 2 years to get to grips with NewsPro LOL) Anyway, in NewsPro I...

Thank you for the explanation, Alex

Can someone please explain how to use this effectivley? I am trying to filter out messages that are showing as having lines that equal a specific number (as shown in the lines column) I can't get it to work, if I enter the number I see it doesn't filter. For example, a group has a number of messages...

in Server / Properties look for box [lower left] for Max Tasks and to right of this is box for number of 'retries' it will make before failing.

:) ah looks like I have to partially reply to my own post... I set up my local proxy in NewsPro with authentication and, at least, it now does works (I still want to use it direct tho) I wish there was a better Help file or a user guide for us no-brainers :roll: So, come on, tell me how NewsPro 'fin...

I have access to the Internet via 2 routes (one direct, one by via a proxy) I can't work out how to tell NewsPro which one to use :( I dont know if this is right, but it seems to take whichever connection my Internet browser is 'aimed' at. The trouble is that I have to browse via the proxy but I wan...
