OT Newsreaders
I apologize for the OT post, but I know several regulars here have what I am
looking for. I am looking for a free newsreader that allows random quotes to be placed in your signature line. I know Marcel and a few others use newsreaders such as this. Thanks in advance, Robin |

I am looking for a free newsreader that allows random quotes to be placed in your signature line. I know Marcel and a few others use newsreaders such as this. Well, I have something like this, but its not the newsreader that does it for me. I use xnews (on the PC) for newsreading, and a program called Random Tagline Manager for the signature line. Xnews draws from a text (.txt) file for its signature, and RTM will modify that text file from a random pool of signatures. Its the same program that Marcel uses (unless he has changed). It takes some playing to get used to, but it works fairly well. The database had a lot of quotes I wanted to delete, and that process was somewhat tedius, but in the end it was worth it. http://www.webattack.com/get/randomtagline.shtml Chad -- Looking for a pet?

It's not a newsreader per-se. but a little program that you use. It can work with any newsreader including, IIRC, OE. http://programs.fbrower.com/ Choose Random Tagline Manager. It comes with a rather large selection of taglines, but I recommend going through them and deleting those you don't like. -- ******************************************* Marcel Beaudoin & Moogli ******************************************* 'If everyone else gets a flu shot, you don't need one.' ******************************************* |

I know Marcel and a few others use newsreaders such as this. it's not a newsreader you're looking for, but a random sig generator. i don't know what others are using, but i recommend Kookie Jar (i use it at home in conjunction with Agent). it works with several mail and news clients: Mozilla Forte Agent Eudora Pro Netscape Messenger Pegasus Mail The Bat!

"culprit" wrote in message ... here's another one that sits in the systray, that you can use with any newsreader: http://freedownloadswindows.com/wind...inator/653864/ -kelly Thanks Kelly, and all who answered so quickly. I'll check them all out to see which one works best for my purpose. I plan to use taglines generate exposure for the presidential candidate I'll be supporting in 2004. It may offend some, but if even one person reads the quotes and VOTES, either for or against my candidate, it will have served it's purpose. Robin "As the president leaves on a month-long vacation, his administration is once again siding with big business at the expense of working families. The administration's proposal to deny overtime pay to millions of American workers is offensive as he threatens to undermine the basic tenet of a fair day's pay for a fair day's work." Howard Dean, Presidential candidate for 2004 http://www.deanforamerica.com |

"culprit" wrote in message ... what's wrong with him? i don't know much about him, but i figure anyone who's last name isn't Bush is ok in my book. -kelly I like him. He doesn't dance around the issues. He's not afraid of offending the conservative right. He can unite the independent and democratic voters, which let's face it, that division is the only reason Bush is in office today. Robin !****************************************! !

I never liked the boxed in sig look, but others seem to get by fine with it (e.g. Marcel) I actually never use them as well. I just turned it on so that Robin could see what it looks like with them. -- ******************************************* Marcel Beaudoin & Moogli ******************************************* 'Meow' means 'woof' in cat. --George Carlin ******************************************* |
