Dave, you are helping lead the wave of the future by utilizing newsreading software. BIOSCI's more inconvenient features are still due to the necessity of combining a variety of different communications systems. I would encourage anyone who is still using e-mail for reading newsgroups to try to get their computer center to switch to USENET-style news. There are public domain packages available for this as has been described many times in the past on this newsgroup and others. We at GenBank On-line Service are happy to help people make this transition if they reuqire assistance. Let us at BIOSCI worry about how to resolve some of these more confusing points about header information during this period of technological transition, but please don't move backwards yourself!! -- Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson GenBank Manager kristoff@genbank.bio.net
