    It might be worth pointing out that the fonts and colours can be adjusted.

    I'll post some shots of my setup for comparison.

    I agree.. That system can be horrendous to navigate trying to find
    something specific. I can't find the setting that I have in red either!

    I thought the program defaulted to red for messages addressed to me.

    Maybe Martin can step in and illuminate us both.

    I'm going to jump in and suggest that the setting is here:

    Config/Display/Colors/Messages/Highlighted.

    Then.. as long as you *don't* hit ¯Save®, the previous settings will
    return the next time you start OXP. If you happy with your settings,
    don't forget to hit ¯Save®

    I have two OpenXP in diferent folders - C:\OpenXP and C:\OpenXP.P.
    The C:\OpenXp is a single Fido point and the Highlighted works fine.
    The C:\OpenXP.P is a Fido point and newsgroups reader and the
    Highlighted not works on this. Can be the dir with different name?

    I think OXP highlights the name that matches the one you use in the
    Primary server.

    Edit/Servers..

    The line marked with "F" is your Primary Server. The name on that line is used for the match and the highlighting.

    newsgroups reader and the Highlighted not works on this. Can be
    the dir with different name?

    BTW.. You don't need two instances of OXP, one or fido and another for
    nntp newsgroups. You can configure one OXP with as many different server types that you want.

    But if you want it that way, take a look at the name you use in the
    Primary Server config.

    No you don't, OpenXP supports multiple points receiving identical areas
    from different BossNodes.

    Until quite recently, I had OpenXP configured to receive identical areas
    from three different BossNodes without any problems whatsoever.

    Unfortunately, I don't have time today to post the necessary instructions
    but if you're interested, please say so and I'll post the instructions sometime over the next few days.

    Out of interest, do you know of any other OpenXP users in South
    America?

    I know Flavio Bessa here on Brazil and Fernando from Fercho BBS in
    Argentina.

    After a little search:

    Brazil - Me and Flavio Bessa from Saturn's Orbit BBS.

    Argentina - Fernando Miculan from Fercho BBS and Fernando Toledo
    from Dock Sud BBS.

    Thank you very much for that and I also know of one user in Paraguay.

    Remember who is?

    Yes, his name is Wolfgang Allinger but I'm not too sure if he's on Fido or not ??

    Regards,

    He is not in Fidonet. No one called Wolfgang Allinger has been to fidonet.

    Allinger there have been none, and Wolfgang has been, but now there is not.
