up till now I've been happily accessing URG through Garden Banter, great
for me, so I thought, but thanks to helpful advice on another thread I'm
beginning to realise I would be better off accessing through a
newsreader (newsgroup?).

I have set up what I thought was the right access to URG through
Outlook Express but all I get are loads of emails with no means of
following a thread. It seems I might not have the right set up. (I
would prefer to use Outlook Express rather than anything else) Would
really appreciate some advice as to what I should do? (Apologies for
not explaining myself very well - And please, the simplest piece of
advice would probably be really helpful)

Firstly, have you got OE set up so that you have a left-hand vertical pane ? If you have then have a look below the folders named 'Inbox' down to the 'Trash' icon. If you have nothing below there then you are not set up for newsgroups yet.



she is since otherwise she wouldnt have reported being able to read URG messages on OE.


Read first line of first paragraph above! ;-)

It sounds like the original poster is having new posts that are fed to GB are just echoed possibly by request as email to her 'in box' so will not have the Usenet heirarchy structure in them. This is different than actually having a Usenet account set up in OE and not going through GB. That's why I asked for her to look below the set of folders as in the second graphic on this URL;

<http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/using/howto/oe/setup.mspx>

It shows OE set up with *NO* news server account which should show up below the 'drafts' folder at least.

See third graphic in the URL below that has a newsserver account;

<http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/using/howto/oe/gettingnews.mspx>

Of course to get them you have to go through the steps much like the previous steps on the URL above.

This means that you don't have to have an account in OE but you have to go to Garden Banter to read the posts through your browser.
