'If Outlook was running, please shut it down.' should be 'If Outlook IS running, please shut it down.' in my humble opinion.

Slight oversight, thanks for catching that.

Thanks for the multi select on the newsgroups.  Of courxe if you were to only display the groups from the server that you are posting or replying to it would be even nicer.  Not a lot of fun walking thru a 100 item to check off a few.<g>

What if...



You have 2 options -



1) Display the server/newsgroup as is currently.

2) Display the newsgroup selection based on a drop down list for servers, that controls the newsgroups that are displayed.  The newsgroups will then be selectable as to post to which.



I would set it up so this would be a configuration option to switch between the 2.  However, the 2nd option will still pull the newsgroups from your NewsGator subscriptions.



Now thinking of that, maybe a 3rd option could be to type in the server yourself and then have all the newsgroups be populated based on that.  How does this sound?

This might be a silly question, put a made a couple of posts with 0.3 and I noted that there is no "quoting" of the replied-to-text.  I.e. there is no quote character such as ">" or "|".

This is really how the text is displayed in Outlook when editing the reply, it has nothing to do with the plugin.

Currently it displays all servers and all newsgroups.  I cant' think of a reason ever to need to see multiple servers at the same time.  I believe that default should be to check the current newsgroup that you are replying to and to display the rest of the newsgroups for that server only.

GNKSA 2.0 is an invaluable guideline as to how newsreaders should behave. It lists what behavior is required by which rfc's and addresses the many conventions that have also evolved. Along the way it explains why the must's & should's are important and how their application keeps Usenet a useful place.



Highly (HIGHLY!) recommended reading and strongly urged application.

Ok, lets try that again *without* premature-return:

BTW, most great plugin, highly appreciated, where's your Amazon wishlist?

Wishlist? I'm afraid I don't understand.  BTW - I'll look at the guide to see whats what in it.  Thanks for the link.

"Wishlist" - go on your favorite shopping site, pick out a bunch of nice moderately priced items you'd appreciate (usually music and books) save that list. Amazon.com is quite popular for this but any that will let you set up a public registry will do.



Then let folks know about your list. No obligation, but as folks have already paid good money for NewsGator 2.0 without being able to post to newgroups then it stands to reason your addition might be appreciated with a thank-you item sent your way.



Thus you possibly get some nice stuff to encourage you to continue developing your plug-in, and the rest of us get to use it and along the way thank you for your contribution.
