+If you don't want to use Thunderbird for incoming mail go to Tools->Account Settings again and disable automatic mail downlaod and checking. Enable "Leave messages on server". You can even delete the incoming mail account since outgoing is a different one.
 You will need to use "Reply to Sender only" from the context click menu, since the "Reply" button will always try to reply to the newsgroup directly (which isn't possible). For a more convenient solution see below.

 In the Subscribe dialog expand the newsgroups tree and check local.panotools.main which should be the only available group from this server. After you click Ok the (abbreviated to l.p.main) name of the group should show up in the left panel.

 ==Preface==
 Yahoo mailing list interface is known to be clumsy and inconvenient and many mail readers are not very good to follow a high traffic mailing list like Panotools NG. Hence NNTP usenet news feed from '''news.panotools.org''' was provided in order to use more appropriate tools - i.e. newsreaders - for that task. This page introduces a newsreader and shows how to configure it. (Please add more newsreaders!)
