OK the digests aren't working again. I can see the first line of the posts but clicking on more just says "invalid".

Am I the only one having all these problems with seeing RAM messages.

I use a dedicated newsreader (KNode in Linux, if anyone
cares), not a digest feed.

Could you look into downloading a newsreader client
application so you don't have to rely on a flaky digest
feed? Thunderbird is free, although it does more than
just act as a newsreader. There are probably others out
there, but not being a Windows person (especially not
Win10), I don't have any specific recommendations to offer.

Nyssa, who would do without a web browser before doing
without a newsreader

Well I don't know. I'll have to look into that. I do know that ever since Netscape went away, reading newsgroups has been problematic for me. I do not like google and yet that's where I am now.

My recommendation is to go online and sign up for the FREE usenet server
"Eternal September".
