Re: [Gimp-user] Announcement: this mailing list will be retired by the end of Oct 2022 (Dan Hitt)

Thank you, Dave. 

I installed Thunderbird on our Mac and after a few moments was able to figure out the next steps.

After setting up a News account, I clicked on “Manage newsgroup subscriptions”, typed GIMP in the “Show items 
that contain:” line.
“comp.graphics.apps.gimp” was at the top of the list. Clicked the checkbox, clicked Subscribe and OK.

Done.

This is mostly for those (like me) who haven’t used newsgroups in a long time, or ever.

Best regards,
Rick
