Re: Newsgroups

This almost sounds like a problem with your news reader. What are you using to read newsgroups? It could just be a config flag that needs to be turned on in your browser.

Any suggestions?


I am replying to both the IBM newsgroup/listserver and to comp.lang.cobol. Check comp.lang.cobol for replies.

I asked my provider to include comp.lang.cobol with the newsgroups it carries
back when, and it did what I asked, and I've had it ever since.
