   Yes, I'll do that but don't hold your breath ;-)

   Yes it is but it's a bit buggy here 'n there and unfortunately the bugs will   
   probably never be fixed :-((

   A comparison would be nice, thanks :)   
      
   I've never used the NNTP method with Thunderbird, perhaps you could consider   
   posting some instructions on how to do it in a separate post.   
      
    AA> Anyway.. I hope this rewrite has cleared some of the original confusion.   
      
   Yes it has and many thanks for the explanation and for your workaround.
