Accessing This Newsgroup Messages through Email

[Info_Junkie]

I access the group through Google Groups. I know how many hate that.
Even so I like it, as our ISP account has bad customer service and we
cannot get the setup thru Outlook Express to work to access newsgroups
that way.

My issue is this: with all the other newsgroups the messages are
separate on each line. I click on a message and it opens in a new
window. Not so with this group. The "dot" in the name of the links
seems to mess it up. The "hover" color changes from one half of the
address to the other, depending on mouse position. If I choose either
side, it produces a blank page.

I can view the messages from the site, but would like the view the
messages from Email as I do the other groups. Any ideas why the Email
page is improperly displayed and/or I cannot access individual threads?

Sounds like this is a quirk in the way your e-mail reader (OE or
web-based) detects URLs in plaintext messages and formats them as
hyperlinks. Until the developer of your e-mail interface corrects
this, your only options are to cut/paste the URL into the address bar
of a new web browser window, or use a different e-mail interface (which
probably requires directing your Google Groups mail to a different
e-mail address).

I receive message summaries from this newsgroup via Google Groups in
Abridged format at my Gmail inbox, which I access using Gmail's
web-based interface. It works for me.
