Hi everybody Just felt like saying hello to my d.i.s.m. friends, as it's been a long time since I last posted. I hope everybody's fine... So, who's still using NewsHopper after all these years then ? :-) Cheers; Laurent

Quite a few, including me, from what I read on the ngs. d.i.s.m. is much quieter now, since the revolution, but its new republic is not entirely peaceful. Good to hear from you and isn't it pleasing that NewsHopper lasts and lasts? Keith -- Keith Crook keith@valperga.demon.co.uk

The only wish I'd have is a fix for the 15k article size posting bug, but as it's only been a nuisance once... NewsHopper gets regular mentions in uk.comp.sys.mac, where we all miss you. -- Peter

Needless to say, this is still by courtesy of NewsHopper... Regards, Howard.

Hi Laurent,

Best,

Good to hear from you and isn't it pleasing that >NewsHopper lasts and lasts? Indeed, but I wonder what's going to happen with MacOS X. Has anyone tried it with the preview version ? Cheers; Laurent

I remember spending some time looking into it but I failed to see what causes this error. I'm only a programmer after all :-0 Cheers; Laurent

Well you are, obviously, judging by the Message-ID.
I am, too. Most of the traffic which used to be here has moved to
uk.comp.sys.mac. I hope you can someday write us a decent news
client for MacOS X. I understand that there'll be a bundled email
client but not a bundled news client.
Glad to see you're well.
Simon.

In fact that's what I'm using to send this message. FWIW DP3 comes with a carbonised build of Newswatcher, but it isn't quite finished yet -- eg the Font popups are empty.

The fun is that you can *also* tell who's using Addmail (or equivalent)... Provided of course you know they're using NewsHopper. -- Peter

Laurent � Good to hear from you! Yes, here's another faithful Newshopper user. Also good to see Alan S. I still get a twinge of guilt when I remember the day I stopped using AddMail cos Eudora does the job in one step. V. best wishes to two of the 'net's Good Guys! Hugh Browton
