Hello Mike,

I had MT-Newswatcher installed on my Mac iBook that used to work very
well to access NG's but doesn't do so now. I agree that using Outlook
Express that I can actually download onto my iBook is the way to go
because I used Outlook Express on my PC. I thought the GUI was very
good.
By the way you might be very interested to know that to date I haven't
received a single item of spam even though my new gmail email address
is exposed when I post to CLBVM through google something that is drawn
to one's attention by google when posting.

Reagards,

Peter.
