I'm using "Grabit" which has no "reply" button only a "post" icon. Most news readers allow you to "reply" with the original post inside the window. Do you have a better way of replying under the circumstances I've described ? I don't care for it either !!!!!

GrabIt may be great for what it does - downloading things from newsgroups -
but I think if you plan on using these groups much for anything els e- ou
might want a full-fledged newsreader. The choices are up to you - but if
you have Windows XP - you most likely have Outlook Express and its
newsreader works fine.

GrabIt is NOT a good choice if you want to carry on *discussions* in
Usenet. For that, get a decent newsreader. There are LOTS of free
ones.

And another reason proving that GrabIt should never be used to post
messages to Usenet. They append their spam which is NOT in a signature.
That means their spam is in the body of your post which makes YOUR post
to be spam. Expect to get treated like a spammer when you post like
one.
