mLipok,
It should work now. Several things have changed since 2013.

Let me know if anyone has any trouble with it.

Do you plan to change

mLipok,

Last time I looked, the majority of news readers display just as you see with this one,
for new topics and subsequent replies.

So no, I don't plan to implement Treeview.
However, feel free to modify it how you like.

By the way...
I forgot to mention that the Listview header will sort on: Subject, Poster and Article#.

-Edit-
One more thing I need to mention...

Some of the more progressive news readers use HTML, but the original intent of usenet
was a plain text format. Only a small percentage of users use the HTML format.

To counter this, I have disabled the TAGS, if they appear, to make sure they don't
cause any funny business and for security sake, because of the IE Object.

-Edit-
Also, I did allow image links in the text body, when someone inserts a link.
It's not too often a poster will do this -- but is usually done to demonstrate
what their problem is with an OS.

If you don't want that feature, it can easily be commented at lines 183 thru 185.
