Since making that comment, I now realise how wrong I was, especially
when I haven't been on the Net for a day or two, then waiting ages for
the messages to download (sometimes 50 or 60), and then wading through
them all, only to find a dozen of any interest.

It's especially difficult when you can't seem to program the Set Topics
