Thanks. However, that turn them all off and I just wanted to turn off the
one server (Mozilla Thunderbird). The other news server from which I get
groups has no problem with the descriptions.

I am not sure what you mean by Giganews since I was connecting directly to
the Mozilla news server? Does the Mozilla server use Giganews in some
manner?

I guess turning them off by server is not possible.

Thanks.
