I know this is really off topic but I am wondering what software
people use for this newsgroup.

I use Forte Agent but really don't like the way it subjects of posts,
at least as it appears when it comes back into Agent.

1. If a message has an single attachment no text, Agent appends the
file name to the subject.

2. If there are more than one attachments, again with no text, it does
not append file names.

3. If there are more than one message with multiple attachments, with
no text, the first message comes up and the following messages are
threaded to it.

4. If there is text as well as one attachment, the file name is
appended to the subject and it comes up as two messages. (0/0)
contains the text and (*/7) e.g. contains the attachment.

5. If there is text plus multiple attachments, it works as per 4 but
without appending the file names to the subject,

Now I can see why Agent handles the subject name differently for
single and multiple attachmens. I guess I just have to be less lazy
and type something in. That would get rid of case 3.

I do wonder, though, why the separation of text and attachments in
cases 4 and 5 happens. Do any of you out there have a Newsgroup Reader
that displays the text and attachment as a single message?


In the Mac world I have two Usenet clients I use; the now defunct
Unison and Hogwasher. Each deal with attachments slightly differently.
With Unison and Hogwasher I can take image files and drag and drop them
into the body of a single message, or I can use the attach file menu
options.
Unison also gives me the option to post multiple image files in
sequence, but for the most part I post individual JPEGs and do the work
to be as specific as possible with the subject line.

So here are two of my shots posted by drag & drop into Unison.


Thanks, SD. There are times that I wish I had the nerve to teleport
myself to the world of MACs. I always seem to chicked out at the last
moment. The only exception is that I now have an iPad for travel
rather than lugging a notebook.


Without going into the various platform wars, if what you are using
meets your needs and you are comfortable with the particular OS stick
with it. Unless you feel like ringing the changes.

I have used Apple computers at home for over 30 years, and Windows
machines at work until I retired. Now my computing needs are to have a
platform to run Photoshop, Lightroom, email, internet browsing, some
streaming, and Usenet. I could do that equally well on OSX or Win
computers, but I like my Mac.
