Crashed. Tried to get mail&news and my trusty(?) windows gave an error.
All Win95 users are used to this extremely informative way of telling ab=
out
errors, which is 'Hey you have an error' or some huuuge list about numbe=
rs,
which tell me =3D nada, zilch, nothing
So if someone have had also error when getting mail&news and have manage=
d
to correct it, please tell me :)

And if someone tells me to use that f*ing souper95 then I am going to te=
ll
a story.

DISCLAIMER - Some ranting and shouting and bad language ahead -

After the win3.* version crashed I tried 95 ver. Everything went well un=
til
for some weird reason it stopped and told me that 'message packet size
exceeded'. I haven't put any restrictions to packet sizes. Well _this_ d=
idn't
bother me as much as that the f*ing program didn't make me any AREAS fil=
e.
Yeah, it's nice to import news with a 0-byte AREAS file. Of course I am
supposed to know the format of AREAS from my mind.
Then I looked at YES's yfolder. Yahoo, there's import folders-option.
Tried it after converting one *.MSG with that soup2folder-converter of
yarnutils. YES:Sorry, this is not implemented yet. It's really nice to h=
ave an
option WHICH ISN'T THERE YET! Of course I can convert all *.MSGs into
folders, but reading all those newsgroups as folders isn't quite amusing=
.
