FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
How do I configure IA to use multiple newsservers ? There is only one server in the settings notebook.
You can change the settings per newsgroup, select the newsgroup in the group window, and press the right mouse button. Then, select "Settings", and you can enter the new servername there.

How can I download only the newest 500 messages in a newsgroup ?
Select the newsgroup you want, then select "Resync with server" from the Newsgroup menu, and from there you can download only the newest 100 or 500 messages.

How do I add another email account ?
The Setup Wizard can be used for only one account, to add another account, bring up the settings notebook and add a mail account from there. NOTE: To have more than one email account, you need to be using a registered version of Internet Adventurer.

How do I detach multifile attachments ?
Many large attachments span more than one news message - to detach files from multiple messages simultaneously, and to detach files that span across multiple messages, select all the appropriate messages, and press F9, or select "Detach Files" from the Message menu - this will detach files from all selected messages.
