Re: LuserNET Preferences setting

[Patrick Cardona]

Hi Riccardo,

Great ! I got the list from the news server news.free.fr (my French provider).

I will use LuserNET only for reading old posts and go on posting new messages 
with GNUMail.
I am not enough expert to propose patches: I need first to understand and learn 
many things.
Maybe in a few months...  ;-)
