> Thanks for the suggestions!  I already have thunderbird installed, I've just always used the regular mac mail app.  I have a prob stupid question.  I kind of stubbled into the comp.lang.java, it's a newsfeed kind of like a forum?  As apposed to a mailing list.  I belong to a python mailing list and was looking for something similar when I found this.  If that was stupid this question most definitely will be haha.  I don't understand what eternal-september.org is?  Do I use thunderbird to get the eternal-september.org news server, which then finds the comp.lang.java forum?  Any suggestions on how to hook it up in thunderbird?

So, if I go to set up other account, I can set up a newsgroup account, is that correct?  If so when it asks for the news group server do I enter comp.lang.java?  And last question, where does the eternal-september.org come into play?  Thanks again!!
