Is it possible for a hyperlink to call TWO URLs?

Did you give up Nerdboy?

Who are you talking to? Quote. Attribute.

Yes, I know I can derive that from headers. I should not have to.

Get a proper newsreader like Outlook Express

The five news clients I use and/or am fluent with are all far more proper
than Outlook Express. The issue is proper quoting and attributing, not
news client selection.

He means, "Can the email address be included in the attribution?"

I don't think so. This is how you structure your attributions (manually;
this isn't in the GUI), but I see no variable that represents the
attributee's email address:

http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/tips#beh_replyheader

Compare this to, say, Xnews, which has this GUI config section for
customizing attributions:

http://blinkynet.net/stuff/comp/xnews_attrib.jpg

There, you'd just insert the variable %e into the language you wanted to
use.

Similarly, Pan (which I am using) offers simple and comprehensive
GUI configuration of attribution here here:

http://blinkynet.net/stuff/comp/pan_attrib.jpg

When you hover your cursor over the entry box, a tooltip pops up showing
the other variables, one of which is %a for author and address.

I'm not a fan of Thunderbird, although I recommend it over OE. My
preferences are Xnews for Windows and slrn and Pan for *n*x.

Okay, very much thanks, that helped immensely. Gravity's "attribution"
is set virtually the same as Xnew's. I suspect that I'll be checking
Xnews out one of these days soon. As with browsers, though, I bet I'll
never find one I like perfectly.

Xnews has some converts in the alt.html/alt.www.webmaster posse. Best
support (not limited to Xnews) is the wizards that hang out in the
small-but-focused news.software.readers froup. Feel free to drop my name.

Did you check for an extension? The beauty of FF/TB is that they are
almost à la carte apps. Add what you need and no more...I know there was
once to display the little PNG avatar thingy or whatever you call it,
I'm not a chat|AIM person

Would that have been the display of an X-Face header? If so, gajillions
of non-chatters use them in netnews, and have for years.

I guess so. Somehow I've managed with my ignorance ;-)

Well, you seemed to think they were only popular in chat. Just trying to
provide a little information about them: that they're not.

Yep, I'll probably try it soon. I tried the edits; user.js was a dismal
failure. Then naturally I tried hacking the main file. The attribution
did nothing but some non-related changes "took" okay.

Thanks again for the help.

I knew a man that I did not care for,
And then one day this man gave me a call.
We sat and talked about things on our minds
Until I said, "Just kiss my damn behind!"

No, but I will. You'd think there'd be *something* that'd allow an
optional attribution...

(Btw, what's tuberculosis got to do with it?)

Uh...I mentioned when I linked that page that there was nothing there

Yes, sure. I wasn't trying that, just some of the documented changes.
'Twas a no-go, though.
