Hi Helen,

I subscribed to this newsgroup long time a go. I don't watch this
group
all the time, only when I need some help. Unfortunately, my original
account
trough which I subscribed to this newsgroup (zilez@...) is no valid
for
long period, and I tried these days to change the settings in
newsgroup
account(s), in order to be able to post messages via replies trough
Atkins
news server. Still not in possibility to do so. I didn't know that
this
makes problems to moderators, sorry for this.
My settings for delivery options are already set to "No emails". I
succeeded to change email address to my yahoo account address. Hope to
be
able to post messages trough OE soon. Anyway, thanks for the comments.

Regards

Zile
