    All right, that's good to hear. Especially that you've already got a complete approach in mind. The news server can be handy on mobile.

    It'll be good to have someone to test it! I will take a look at this in A45 I don't want to start it now because its too close to A44.
    I started playing around with thunderbird and the NNTP server but i'm having all kinds of problems. The groups on SciNET subscribe, and then the next
    time i come into thunderbird they are orphaned and say the message area
    doesn't exist on the server. I wonder if this is because I havea : in the name of the SciNet areas so the groups are named scinet:.Sysops.only and such fsx areas kinda work, but i can't reply to anything i get a message like
    'Would you like to subscribe to 8023? if i say ok thunderbird crashes.

    I can at least read some of the bases in fsx, but a lot of them i can only
    see subject lines but not the messages. I think possibly these ones have / character in the name somewhere.
    chat works, cryptographic works,
    but fsxnet.BBS.Support/DEV no good.

    I'm guessing there are some forbidden characters for newsgroup names?

    Yes. Your newgroups names in mystic must not contain spaces and apart from alphanumeric characters can only contain a '.'.
