Bet not accepted :-)

If questions are not marked as answered then it becomes difficult for others
to know whether the answer provided was correct or not...

There are people who are marking questions as answered so they must be using
the MS interface...

I'd be willing to bet that you can't mark a message as answered through
*any* newsreader. Which part of the NNTP protocol would do that? You can't
through OE (but of course some would claim that OE isn't a "proper"
newsreader).

Yes, David is partially right... I do use the 'strange' interface but do
realize that 'advanced' users do use 'news readers'

What I did not realize that one could not mark a question as answered
through a news reader (at least through the one Terry is using.)

No. Sheeloo is apparently using the strange Microsoft web interface to
the
newsgroup, and presumably hasn't realised that other people are using
real
newsreaders and accessing the newsgroup directly.

Great.

Pl. mark the past as answered as it will help others having the same
problem.

?? No such facility here in my Agent newsreader. Are you using Google
Groups?
