NewsHound v1.54 (with STARTTLS), with AntiSpam + Pluto here.
I see you are using NewsHound v1.55 - is that generally available?
If so, where from?

It's freshly baked by me as of last night, and not fully tested
yet, so not yet generally available. If all goes well, it will be
generally available soon.
My message that started this thread was the first ever to be posted
by Newshound using NNTPS - and this is the second.
Orpheus's news server and Eternal September both use 563 for NNTPS.

My main concern at the moment is that it relies on the user specifying
port 563, in order to know to use NNTPS. This won't work if the user's chosen news server uses some other port for NNTPS. In turn that would require some other mechanism in the group file to specify NNTPS.

Hadn't realized that Orpheus did news. Is that only if you have their broadband? I just have domains with them.

Dunno, sorry. I only have an account because Andrew Rawnsley wanted me
to look at why Newshound wasn't working with their news server. Turned
out that their server had a couple of configuration issues - quickly
solved, of course. No change necessary to NH.
However, he did suggest that working with NNTPS would be desirable. Unfortunately I couldn't resist the challenge :-) As it happens, only minimal change to Newshound appears to have been necessary.

I was going to suggest scanning the newsgroup headers, but judging by the replies to this thread Newshound doesn't always show up even when people
say they are using it!
Apparently I'm on Newshound 1.53-32 RC1 (I have no idea why....)

Sorry to bother you all again. Please ignore this posting. I'm still struggling with the Orpheus news server - I can read but I don't appear
to be able to post. If anyone sees this, it's working better than I
thought!

Using Newshound 1.52-52 here.
Just changed news feed from eternal-september (can receive but no longer
send posts :) ) to www.i2pn2.org. It is free and if you register, posting still works via Newshound 1.52-52

You needed the newer fixed version of Newshound that allows send and receiving from eternal-september. Been using it for sometime, work done
by David Higton.

I thought that Dave had posted somewhere that he had hit a problem with
1.55 and was going back to the drawing board with it. I don't know where
that was, though.
That said, aside from source code (which is in the SourceForge Git repo),
did 1.54 ever become available anywhere apart from by direct application to Dave or R-Comp?

welcome!
Could you not have Newshound do a check on start up for an existing
config stored inside the app and automatically move this to
Choices? Then it can just blindly look there and the user will
know no difference.

One way is to read choices using a path with both Choices and !app in, but write it using Chooices$Write ... or something like that!
