I've just recently got on to the internet and spent some time leaning how
to use atlantis mail as well as MS internet news. But with neither of these
can i just log on and automatically receive news messages to the article
that i posted in several newsgroups. It took me about ten minutes to go to
each
newsgroup and look for my subject and then look for Re:subject because
sometimes it seems some people don't quite reply properly to the newsgroup.
Then i have to expand the thread and select any replies. Then i have to do
this with all the other newsgroups i have sent to for each message! Luckily
with MS internet mail you can go to a newsgroup just by clicking on the
hyperlink which is a lot easier than having to remember all the newsgroups
(and subjects) that you have sent out to. Is this what everybody does or is
there some different software that everybody else is using?

Many times people reply to *all* the newsgroups i sent to so i get a lot of
spam. I'd like also to be able to automatically save newsgroup replies to
me but after i log off i have to select all my messages to save them
(although i suppose i could do that online) but still i then have go to my
saved messages folder and delete all the spam.

If i want to check to next day to see if i have received any more newsgroup
replies then i have to do this all again, although i can tell which
messages i have already downloaded but i have to do this within the number
of days i've selected in the options before downloaded messages are
deleted. Going to check to see if i've received any newsgroup replies is
some thing which i'd rather do every few days rather than every few hours
which is a hassle if your in a hurry to receive a messages. 

I have used the BBS network fidonet. Atleast with fidonet people replied to
you and not your subject. Receiving email replies is easy because its sent
to you unlike newsgroup replies. Why can't we have an option to see if
there have been any replies to a subject which you have sent out to the
newsgroups?
