posting html pages to newsgroups

Outside of using OE for this purpose, how else can this be accomplished?
Any other posting method I've tried fails and only posts in text.
No I am not buying some bloated program for this.

Can what be accomplished? Oh... hang on, it's in the subject line! Would it
have really hurt to put it into the message body as well?

I have never yet been in a newsgroup where HTML posts are welcome. Plain ol'
plain text is the order of the day. YMMV.

Good. I'm pleased to hear it.

I have no intention of posting html to text only groups.
I just want to know if there are other news programs available that could
handle posting html directly as OE does.
That was one reason why I created alt.binaries.html.
As a means to post samples of work to a dedicated newsgroup rather than to a
website.

Binary newsgroups can muck up/not handle the HTML also.

Would do better - in my opinion - to be using a set-up like Yahoo!
Groups or such, where you can set the group to accepting attachments
[which would be including HTML]. Newsgroups is just a different
environment with how content is handled by the servers and various
newsagents that people use. Whereas Yahoo Groups or similar set-up
would limit the user to email or using the site [browser].

Actually you can read Yahoogroups through their RSS feeds!

Let me ask, as I haven't figured this out yet.

Why would I want to read RSS feeds rather than visit a webpage, and how do
people generally go about it? What advantages does RSS have over simply
putting something on a webpage?

If a webmaster develops and maintains an RSS Feed as a service, the
advantage for the visitor would be that s/he gets notified of changes in
the site and gets an indication (through header, description and even
content) of what the update is all about.

I see no advantage in having a feed from a SE for newsgroups as I think
(a)they fall behind too far and (b)my newsreader is quite capable of
dealing with newsgroups.
I do see the advantage of the feeds of alistapart and stopdesign for
example as they have no daily updates, but I would like to know if they
publish new articles or items and I don't want to have to go in there
every other day or so to find out if something happend. A feed brings the
web to me. I like that.

I serve some feeds myself (on general site updates, on my blog and on
comments on general news) and although I have no idea if anyone actually
subscribed to any of them, I think it might help some of my regular
visitors if they want it to.

Only if the Yahoo Group allows the message archives to be open to the
general public though. If the group owner sets their archives to
members only setting or their group to private [invite only] then that
leaves out RSS feed ability being a consideration.

You can break your own kneecaps with a baseball bat.
It saves others having to do it for you.

Put it this way - If you're relying on OE to do it, you just shouldn't
do it. If you had any real valid reason for doing this, you'd know how
to, what to use and why not to do it.


Now why aren't you still in the kf ? Did you morph ?
