Re: What's the server address of the comp.lang.c newsgroup?

Thanks for your information and It's great to hear that I am not alone.

Yes I meant Mozilla Thunderbird.

Thanks for all your help!

I now have a better understanding of newsgroups. Google Groups is also a provider as well as a online newsreader. So I would be able to use an off-line newsreader to use Google Groups if Google had made the usenet server public accessible.

I am now writing in Firefox Thunderbird and I am using nntp.aioe.org, which is a free server though with some limitations. I hope it's enough for personal usage.

I can recommend aioe. If you have any problems, the server-local group aioe.news.helpdesk can help - the server admin hangs around in there and is very friendly.

Also, I think you mean "Mozilla Thunderbird"...
