Oops. I meant to reply to you. *That* was no accident. However, I kept my
eyes on the wrong headers. I sometimes wish I was using Thunderbird for
Newsgroups (instead of KNode). I use Thunderbird for E-mail and I know how
costly (in terms of learning curve, e.g. scripts, settings, keybindings,
mail/address data) it was to move from KMail to Thunderbird, so I will stick
with KNode for the time being. I wonder how much I am truly missing because
I use Mozilla Mail on another computer to check newsgroup. It's quite neat,
as a matter of fact.
