I use Outlook Express to read LUGNET as I personally find the web interface
painful to use. The verification process is realtively simple. If I want
to reply to a message, I hit the "Reply" button in OE just like I always
have. Once my message is composed and sent I check for new mail in Outlook
where I almost always have a confirmation e-mail from the LUGNET server. I
reply to it with an "X" in the box and I am done. No need to invoke the
LUGNET web interface for anything.
It is one extra step that I didn't used to have to do but I am more than
willing to do that to keep NNTP access to LUGNET. If it went to an only web
interface I doubt I would post very much if at all.
Now if only I could convince Dan Jezik to support NNTP for the Brickbay
forum ... ;-)
