Yeah, but... That works reasonably well, provided you are talking about the world, post, say, about 2010, and that you are, in fact, using a Windows GUI newsclient thingie, like, say, Thunderbird. But, remember, the poster in question says he's been doing this since the early 90s, and, also, at least some of us are still using basically the same technology today to read and post to Usenet as we (and everyone else) did in the early 90s. -- The randomly chosen signature file that would have appeared here is more than 4 lines long. As such, it violates one or more Usenet RFCs. In order to remain in compliance with said RFCs, the actual sig can be found at the following URL: http://user.xmission.com/~gazelle/Sigs/Noam |

Surely, all news client must have a facility to save messages somewhere when the user sends something. Even in the 90s when Netscape and Outlook Express were two GUI news clients had a facility to save messages in sent folder. Now in the 21st century, there is even a better way to save all your sent messages. The method I use is to initially save the messages in the local folders and on a weekly basis, I drag the messages from sent folder to my Yahoo account. Yahoo gives you 1TB of disk space free of charge so make use of it. If they decide to close their free service then they will give you at least 30 days notice so you'll need to find other means of saving your messages. However, if you are talking of very old messages and your copies are lost then there is no way to get them back. In any case what is the point of reading what happened in 1990. The technology have changed quite a lot. I am currently using Mozilla Thunderbird so it has better features and easy to master. there is a newsgroup for Thunderbird here: <news://news.aioe.org/alt.comp.software.thunderbird>. Or you could search for: "alt.comp.software.thunderbird" in your news client. Your service provider must have this newsgroup. You can't rely on Google Groups because they are likely to be shut down because Google is making a loss on them. There are no ads on that news portal so why should they continue running it. Google is a business so bottom line comes before anything else. |
