From: Henryk Birecki on 30 May 2010 01:11 Thanks Jochen, I will certainly try the new version for text conversion. My problem turned out to be really "dumb" One needs to configure the server in the client as "localhost" or 127.0.0.1. I was configuring it to what I saw in the MS "documentation". I must admit that I am not very network oriented. The word "bridge" probably should have answered my issue, but I did not make the connection till I saw the word "localhost" in some other context (as an afterthought).

Hi Jochen, I thought I'd give this new version with the plain text converter a go in my preferred newsreader Agent 3.3, however I'm not seeing "plain" text even with that new check box enabled. For example (cut down), it appears as: <p>Text.</p> .... <p>"text in quotes"</p> <p> </p> Agent 3 doesn't have any html rendering capability. I'd expected all those tags to be removed and things like the quotes and non-breaking spaces to be converted appropriately. Is that going to be possible? Dave

Converting html into plain/text is not that easy... some feartures already work, some not yet... we (Josef Poetzl) is working on this... -- Greetings Jochen My blog about Win32 and .NET http://blog.kalmbachnet.de/

I was not correctly setting the UsePlainText property after a restart. If you uncheck and check the CHekcBox in the UI while the Bridge is running, it will work for the next (not prefetched) articles. It will be fixed in V16. -- Greetings Jochen My blog about Win32 and .NET http://blog.kalmbachnet.de/
