My question concerns checking for new messages.
Suppose I open a group by double clicking it in a users group window.
After reading for a while, I want to see if any messages have been added
to a thread I am interested in.

I spoke too soon when I thought the MT-NW 2.5.3b2 fixed the problem.
The Macalley BT mouse cannot be used with MT-NW. Each time I try to
left-click on a message,  I get the Error Code -1857.  
Good thing I still have the Apple Mighty Mouse that works.

I am trying another news provider. When it tries to get the Organisation
headers, I get this:
NewsWatcher sent the following command:
XHDR organization 570484-570543

I've been attempting to transition from my previous ISP's news server
to my new one's (comcast). I use Thoth. For the comp.sys.mac.system
group, I now get an error on an attempted open. The Thoth log file
reports an "unsupported header" field.

Hmmmm... I usually post to Usenet Groups thru my trusty usenet reader MT
Newswatcher for Mac System 10.4.11.
I check up on the posts in Google Groups. However, recently my "star
rating" history has been deleted. I had several hundred ratings that

So about two weeks ago, I returned my newly bought Airport Express and
purchased the new 802.11n model. I plugged it into an AC outlet near the
computer and set it up.  I then unplugged it, and plugged it near the

According to Tidbits, one of these fixes addresses the vulnerability

There is something quite fundamental that I am missing in trying to
setup my Airport Extreme (AE).
I'm running Vista Ultimate on my computer and have another Vista (Home
Premium) and an XP (SP2) machine I'd like to connect.  I have a simple

It's SO FRUSTRATING. Every time I paste some text in a Mail message I
lose a line below. WTF is Mail doing this? Can it be turned off? What
were Apple thinking? Text Edit doesn't behave this way. No rational
editor I've ever used does this.

Last week I bought a Duo 2.8Ghz iMac (802.11n), a Time Capsule and
upgraded a G4 PowerMac to Leopard (though still only 802.11g). Initially
I was quite pleased with the 4 bars on both iMac and PowerMac (before
then I had usually 2 bars) but after a day or two the network

I am test driving a McAlley Bluetooth mouse on a OSX 10.5.2 powered
iMaca and I get Error code -1857 when i tried to click or double-click
when using MT-NW 3.5.  
Anyone know what's going on?

As someone who regularly keeps upwards of two dozen tabs open I'm sure
you know my problem: that iCab's tabs reduce in size far to the point
where no title is visible :-(
I don't know why this is the case, but it obviously makes iCab unusable

I have an iMac (Leopard) with a Canon iP4300 printer with Ethernet
links through a router to a WXP PC.   I've lost the ability to print
on the Canon iP4300 on the iMac from the WXP PC.
I was able to print over the network before. I've run the various

Yesterday my daughter called in a panic that her iMac had been taken
over. She states that her cursor was moving contrary to her inputs.
Shen was browsing "Facebook" at the time. I VNCed in to her machine and
viewed the cosole logs. Here is a excerpt.
