    downloaded Thunderbird three and give it a try.
    it downloaded and installed picked up all of the echoes except
    politically incorrect and debate, made itself the default mail reader.
    Now comes the fun part, will it actually post like it's supposed to.

    It works great, John. No more garbage at the end of your posts.

    Thank goodness for small favors. Now the only problem is, I do not have a way to select the debate and politically incorrect echos. They are not listed under
    the manage newsgroups. I know I have been banned from politically incorrect by Ceppa, but I still enjoy reading that echo,even if I have to occasionally use Bob's all politics to reply.

    Hopefully this will be a simple problem and Ross will be able to turn on those echos, at his end.

    That will change shortly.

    Ceppa had Cassell cut my feed entirely from POL_INC and I haven't missed it a bit. I can still select DEBATE, but there is nothing worth reading there.
