I use news.individual.net and am very happy with it. In theory they require a German domicile and my German IBAN from N26 is sufficient proof for that for them. They accept payment using Paypal, I’m not sure what they do in that event
to confirm a German domicile.

My (and others') E-S newsgroups lost most of their content, only recent messages were kept. Someone will try to restore them but it takes time,
three weeks for a start. See in e-s.support.

Most of the newsgroups I subscribe to now only retain articles back to
June 29, 2024. Retention used to be way back to 2022. As you can see,
I use Xnews. I've tried "Refresh Headers Special", but none of the
older articles comes back.
Wonder if this will be fixed.

Thanks. I was looking for a 'support' tab on www.eternal-september.org. Finally realized to go to the newsgroup you cite.
Looks like Ray Banana has a big job. Hope it's not toast.

Besides rec.arts.comics.creative, I don't entirely care about conserving
old messages, but I do hope he can get everything sorted out and we
won't lose more recent messages in the jump ^^

Learnt the hard way after losing interesting messages. If you want to
keep old messages, copy them to a folder on _your_ computer. Server
problems and closures will not bother you anymore.
And make a backup to an external disk to be doubly sure. I still have messages from 2014 here.

P.S. I don't read NSR, but this discussion is more relevant to that NG.
So I don't set a follow-up, because I'd like to read the continuation.

The slrn reply_string uses strftime(3) formatting codes:
https://slrn.info/docs/slrn-manual.html#toc6.29 https://slrn.info/docs/slrn-manual.html#toc6.28 https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/strftime.3.html
Full day name of the week would therefore be displayed with %A variable.
HTH.

Your question is more relevant to NSR, which I don't read. I'm not candycanearter07 and I don't know how he did it, but I know that in Thunderbird you can use about:config to configure the FROM line as you wish.
Please don't ask me which are the right parametres. I did it many years
ago and I've long forgotten how.
