To clarify-- I don't use Netscape, AND I don;t "do" newsgroups, so I'm not sure what she means when she refers to her mailing list as being a newsgroup-- she uses it to send out PR announcements and a monthly newsletter listing regional festivals and upcoming events/bookings for multiple bands. ?????? And it's her recipient list, lost.

However she may send them, I only see them as a recipient. I get these as regular email messages, usually included in a BCC send list, but she says no, it's not a regular address book entry or group, it's a newsgroup list.

I've asked her to come visit this thread but since this is a weekend, she's probably out at a festival with her performing husband.

Anyway, the loss represents a significant problem for the many paying customers who receive her mailings, and for the many working musicians who depend on them to reach those ticket-buyers. So again, thnaks in advance for any help you may be able to give her.
