Thank you for going to so much trouble to check. I appreciate that. If you now click on the 'MORE' tab and read the header does the name show as 'André'?

Here's my basic method: # curl -O https://www.jedsoft.org/releases/slang/slang-2.3.2.tar.bz2 # tar xzf slang-2.3.2.tar.bz2 # cd slang-2.3.2 # ./configure # make # sudo make install # curl -O http://jedsoft.org/releases/slrn/slrn-1.0.3a.tar.bz2 # tar slrn-1.0.3a.tar.bz2 # cd slrn-1.0.3a # ./configure # make # sudo make install Create/configure ~/.slrnrc, score file, terminal properties, and so on. I typically configure a Terminal profile to run this command to start slrn: clear; ssh -t my.server.hostname 'news' Where "news" is a bash alias to: alias news='LOGNAME=jollyroger; slrn -i ~/.slrnrc -f ~/.newsrc -h news://my.news.server --kill-log ~/.killed' Here's what Usenet looks in slrn on my Mac Pro running macOS 10.14 at the moment: <https://i.imgur.com/YqiyIZM.png> The screenshot looks a little more washed out than it appears on my screen due to my display calibration.

Hi JR Once again you have gone to a lot of trouble to educate me and I sincerely thank you for the information. I can't see clearly what advantage that would give me over Thunderbird though. For now I'll continue as I am. Without your permission I have kept a copy of your post so that if I change my mind and DO wish to try out 'slrn' I won't have to ask you again. ;-) -- David B.
