Articles can be posted to a newsgroup by an individual,and read by anyone who has access to that newsgroup. In several ways,news is superior to e-mail in a group setting, in that it:<ul><li>allows you to make information available to people without fillingup their personal inbox<li>gives them the chance to read it whenever they want to, and comeback to it for reference when they want<li>results in the storage of only a few centralized copies of anarticle, rather than a copy in each recipient's inbox.<li>has mechanisms built in for organizing articles in threads ofconversation, so that they can be read by topic rather than in theorder they were sent out.</ul><p>For these reasons, most class-related conversations are well-suitedfor the course newsgroup, since they will be sorted by subject, andeveryone can read the articles whenever they choose.<p><h3>Accessing Newsgroups</h3>There are a number of programs available for reading news, and eachone has its own method of displaying news and allowing you to read it.Since most people are familiar with using the web, we'll concentratehere on reading news using netscape.<p>In order to get to a particular newsgroup using netscape, you simplyneed to access the URL: <b>news:<name.of.newsgroup></b> Forexample, the newsgroup for our class is called uw-cs.courses.cse341,so the URL that you would point netscape to is: <a href ="news:uw-cs.courses.cse341"><b>news:uw-cs.courses.cse341</b></a>.There is a link set up on the main course page which will take youdirecly to the newsgroup as well.<p><h3>Reading and Posting Articles in a Newsgroup</h3>Once in a newsgroup, you will see an icon bar (see Figure 1 below),the name of the newsgroup, a list of the articles which you haven'tread yet, and a second copy of the same icon bar. The articles willbe organized according to threads of conversation. That is, whenevera new article is posted, it will be entered into the list. Anyfollow-up articles will be indented below it, responses to thefollow-up will be posted below them, etc. Each article has a subject,the author's name, and its length (in lines).<p><center><img src = "new.bar1.gif"><p><b>Figure 1</b> <i>The newsgroup icon bar</i><p></center>The <i>Post New Article</i> icon allows you to post a new article tothe newsgroup, which will start a new thread. <i>Mark All ArticlesRead</i> will cause all articles to be marked as though you had readthem when you access the newsgroup in the future. <i>Show ReadArticles</i> displays all articles posted to the newsgroup, whether ornot you've already read them. <i>Unsubscribe</i> will take thisnewsgroup off of the list of those which you are subscribed to.<i>Subscribed newsgroups</i> will take you to a list of all newsgroupswhich you are currently subscribed to.<p>To read an article, simply click on its entry. This will take you toa new page with a different icon bar (see Figure 2 below) and thearticle itself. Each article has a header telling who it was postedby, when, which newsgroups it was posted to, and the actual text ofthe article. Articles which were follow-ups will also have referencelinks to the original articles which they refer to. To mail a privateresponse to the article's author, click on his or her name in thearticle header.<p><center><img src = "new.bar2.gif"><p><b>Figure 2</b> <i>The article icon bar</i><p></center>The first two icons in the bar will take you to the previous and nextarticles in the current thread of conversation (if any). The next twoicons take you to the previous and next threads of conversation (ifany). The <i>Mark Thread Read</i> icon will mark all articles in thecurrent thread of conversation as being read, and will skip over themin the future. <i>This Newsgroup</i> will take you back to thelisting of all articles in the newsgroup. <i>SubscribedNewsgroups</i> will take you to the list of all newsgroups that youare currently suscribed to. <i>Post reply</i> allows you to post areply about the current article to the newsgroup. <i>Mail & PostReply</i> does the same thing, and also mails a copy of your reply tothe person whose article you're replying to.<p><h3>Posting Articles and Mailing Responses</h3>If you click on an article's author's name, use <i>Post NewArticle</i>, <i>Post Reply</i> or, <i>Mail & Post Reply</i>, a newwindow will open up allowing you to type your response. This windowwill have slots for your email address, a recipient's email address, anewsgroup, a subject, and an attachment. Depending on which of theabove options you chose, most of these slots will be filled in foryou. In some cases, you may need to supply a subject. There willalso be a large space for the message itself. Type your article orresponse and then hit "send". The message will then be mailed toeveryone in the <i>Mail To:</i> slot and posted to all newsgroups inthe <i>Post To:</i> slot.<p><h3>Keeping up with News</h3>When reading news in netscape, you will need to re-load a newsgroup'spage from time to time to get new articles which have come in. Newarticles may be posted to the newsgroup at any time, but netscape willonly update your list when you actually reload the page. At that point,it will show you an updated list of articles which you haven't read.<p>Additionally, when posting to newsgroups, it generally takes a bit oftime for the article to show up on the group (usually no more than aminute). This is just due to the fact that the article must becirculated throughout all the computers which subscribe to thatnewsgroup.<p><h3>Testing News</h3>To prevent newsgroups from getting jammed up with messages saying"<i>this is a test -- please ignore</i>", a few newsgroups exist forpeople to post test messages to. One of these is called<b>news.test</b>. If you'd like to practice with news, do someposting here, and nobody will mind. I posted a few articles there intyping up this page, so you might look for those and post follow-uparticles as practice. Here's a link to the group: <a href ="news:news.test">news:news.test</a>. Put something like "pleaseignore" or "no reply necessary" in your message, or you will get mailback from an automatic mailer telling you that you posted to thenewsgroup.<hr><address>Shamelessly stolen from cse341 Winter '96 <P>grove@cs.washington.edu </i>(Last update: <!-- see man strftime for full formatting options--> 03/21/96 at 02PM)<i></address></body></html>⌨️ 快捷键说明
