That looks like a very old version of Outlook. Are you sure you can do
that in the current versions?

That is talking about outlook express, not outlook.

Outlook express still works, but doesnt quote properly.

The older version does still work and quotes properly.

paganini.bofh.team.

Many of them required auth because trolls will abuse it instead.
What is the problem in creating an account?

What's wrong with the server you are using now?

Your question leaves me to think you want to get up to no good.

I was actually thinking of making a phone app to post and read usenet
newsgroups. Just so I can learn how to make apps.

And also since Google Groups will soon no longer show new content nor
allow posting, so there will be no way to post and read newsgroups on a
mobile anymore.

But I would want my relatives to test it out for me, and they wouldn't
want to have to create an account with one of the usenet servers.

For which phone OS ?

There are in fact usenet apps for both iOS and android phones and tablets.

I would want it run on both iPhone and Android. You can use
cross-platform tools like Google Flutter where you just make on thing
and it can be deployed on both.

You can operate your own Usenet server and let them post through it.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you
dont have a fucking clue about mobile phone apps.

There are definitely cross-platform tools to build apps on both Iphone
and Android, using a single code-base.

What software do you need for that? And can it be done on Windows?
