I meant No Style in the browser. Dropbox is doing something
that hides the images from me, but if I go to View - Style
- No Style to drop out the CSS then I can see it. I just
mentioned that in case others have trouble.


no need to drop out css.

however, if cookies are blocked (and you've said you do that), then
dropox will display a signup popup, which can easily be dismissed.


I've noticed that .... and wondered WHY that happened! Thanks for
explaining. :-)

Not a big deal. I just find it easier to click-select the line

no need to copy/paste. the link should be directly clickable. if not,
get a better newsreader.


Agreed. The links 'work' for me using Thunderbird.

I don't APPEAR to have ANY problems reading Usenet groups with
Thunderbird, so I *AM* very happy! :-)

Firefox. An increasing number of pages show
up with partially blank content. If you're not
familiar with webpage coding it's hard to explain.
HTML specifies something like an image. CSS can
be used to specify details like position and border.
Sometimes CSS is used to hide content which is
then only made visible via script. I'm not sure
why. So with script routinely disabled, I sometimes
see missing items. But the if I also disable CSS then
I just get the basic HTML and it works.

Undoubtedly more than you care to know. It's
part of the increasing complication of protecting
privacy and security online.

It has nothing to do with OE, which works quite
well for Usenet. And there's no reason to put
brackets around a link. It serves no purpose and
does not conform with any kind of HTML standard.
But it's not a big deal, as I said. I just prefer not to
click links in the post.... Don't ask.

Perhaps you should do some research, and read the following:
" The angle-bracket "" and "" and double-quote (") characters are
excluded because they are often used as the delimiters around URI in
text documents and protocol fields. The character "#" is excluded
because it is used to delimit a URI from a fragment identifier in URI
references (Section 4). The percent character "%" is excluded because
it is used for the encoding of escaped characters.

delims = "" | "" | "#" | "%" | ""

Which is found he
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt

....and why would the above clickable URL contained, and delimited by
angle-brackets be less secure than the undelimited version below?

He's just talking about what can't be used in a
URL because it's used in HTML. In HTML code
you might have something like
A HREF="www.dropbox.com"dropbox/A

But that's in the code itself. Newsreaders and email
programs recognize a URL by the syntax and act
accordingly. Your addition of is irrelevant. It's
not proper, readable HTML and it would make no
difference if it were, just as my HTML snippet above
will show as plain text in this post because this post
is not HTML. You could just as easily have used
*www.dropbox.com* or (www.dropbox.com). The
extra marks serve no purpose. (Though some
marks may prevent your newsreadr from recognizing
the line as a link.)

| ...and why would the above clickable URL contained, and delimited by

It's not. I didn't mean to complicate things. I was
just noting that your brackets are superfluous and
that it's easier to copy the URL without them. Not to
worry. If you find it convenient it's no big deal.

The security part is not directly related. I use a
number of browsers
and clicking a link in email or a newsgroup post will
activate the default browser. I happen to have IE set
as the default, which I don't allow to go online. I block
it at the firewall. Why? Because IE is profoundly unsafe
and quirky in rendering webpages. But it's good for using
on Windows. I like to use it for reading HTML files locally.
It's quick and lightweight. I also don't want to risk
accidentally clicking a link in something without meaning to.
I also don't want software going online without asking.
By setting IE as the default I have a good reader for local
HTML files while I also block anything going online that I
didn't specifically intend to do so.

Thus, when someone sends or posts a link, I copy
it and paste into Firefox or Pale Moon.

I don't know if you have default programs on Mac.
I guess you probably don't even see the full file names.
On Windows, the default program is automatically
called for a specific file extension. So for instance, if
I install software that then tries to call home without
asking, that will call up my default browser, which is
IE, which will then show an error window saying that
it's unable to reach the website. Likewise, if I
accidentally click a link in an email without meaning
to, that will call IE which will be unable to reach the link.
Thus, my arrangement is handy for both privacy and
security.
