Hi Ron,
So it works!<g Looks like your tab setting is 4 spaces, currently. Are
you trying to figure out line wrapping? AFAICT, a newsreader displays
lines the full width of the (resizeable) window the message is viewed
in.

No Gary,

I have recently upgraded to Agent 6.0 and am also using the NNTP
bridge to access the MS newsgroups. Using that system, I was losing
my leading spaces & tabs. This was part of my troubleshooting to
determine the source of the problem.

Turns out that upgrading the NNTP bridge to the latest version solved
my problem.

I see. Well, I'm accessing this thread via the server in my sig, and
not using a bridge. I guess that means I don't get messages from the
forum, but this NG is alive and well on e-s!

Right. This NG is on, and presumeably will stay on, all of the NG
servers (except the Microsoft server).

But Microsoft also has other newgroups that are not on any NG server
(because they never have been). For those of us who prefer the NG
interface, some folk developed a program called the NNTP Bridge, which
allows accessing those other NG's via one of several newsreaders
(Forte Agent; OE; Thunderbird to name a few). If you're interested,
see http://communitybridge.codeplex.com/releases/view/46108


Anyway, things seem to be working OK for me now.

Yeah, I tried signing in for that bridge. It told me my AOL sign-in was
already in use by someone else. Well, of course it is; by me. So what
I'm saying is whatever they've got configured for people transitioning
over DOESN'T WORK <IMO if it can't recognize that I'm using my MS
passport sign-in credentials to sign in with. It kept redirecting me to
the 'new' signup page<??! -Kinda put me off from wanting to make any
more attempts after this persisted with 3 attempts.<??!

I see that there's other bridges that can be used so I might try again
some day when I have time to waste on this.

Something not right there Garry, the LiveID you use to sign in on the web
forums should work fine with Jochan's Community Bridge, if not it's unlikely
to work any better with the MS Bridge's (don't even bother with them). Make
sure you read If still struggling raise a question in the "Discussions"
section (above link), though you'll need to create a different login for
that.

Thanks Peter!
Actually, I need to apologize to Ron as I did not notice the link he
provided was not M$'s. The problems I cited were with the M$ bridge,
and so I will definitely give this one a try. I've read elsewhere that
it's one of the better choices.

Sorry Ron!
I didn't notice that your link was NOT to the M$ bridge, which is where
I encountered the problems I cited in my previous post.

I will definitely give this one a try as I've read elsewhere that it's
one of the better ones.

No need to apologize. I, too, had problems with the original MS
project.
