What's wrong with a watch filter on your name/mail address? Together
with a view on watched messages?
<sigh> You know, it can get pretty tough when people question why
things are done a certain way <g>.
The obvious answer is because it works.
I already have the watch filter. I need some way, and yes, external
seems a heck of a lot easier, to keep an eye of posts IN CHRONOLOGICAL
ORDER.
Just wondering why an external app would be required.
That's why.
Over a hundred newsgroups I post to and monitor. I have various user
names so that when I google, it's easier for me to find what I'm
looking for.
I archive a lot, this external app would also serve as a cataloguer.
Then again: Version 3.x can handle multiple news instances in one
instance of agent. So that could be a way "forward" too,
Yes, but would it do what was needed? I'd just have all 100+ in one
spot! Phew.
My health has improved somewhat. I am less on the computer than
before as I am more active. This coincides, only coincidentally, with
having had 2 jobs including this current one, where I'm putting in a
lot of overtime and even working weekends now. I just do not have the
time anymore to keep up with my ngs manually like before. RL just
doesn't let me do that anymore (hence why I've not been as frequent a
participant as I would like in this ng, for example).
At least with a cataloguer of my posts under my various usernames,
this would be easier to do and I'd not miss post response for weeks on
end as sometimes happens now because I've forgotten I've posted
something!
And if there is an app out there that keep track of our messages and
gives us means to see them individually or to show them grouped by
thread, along with grouping them by ng and by username, it would be
easy for that app to do as it would just have to access the Agent
folders.
I'll keep looking. I'll take a look at this later version you
mention, but I'm not sold on it by any means. My old Agent version
works just fine and I have things set up a certain way already that
I've used for quite some time now. To have ALL the ngs accessible in
one "instance", wow, that would be way too much to scroll through,
etc., anyway. My tried-and-true system keeps this all down to
manageable chunks and I don't feel overwhelmed. Just need a
cataloguer.
Thanks anyway.
