Hi,
Are you talking about usenet groups or mailing lists? For example, groups such
as alt.comp.blind-users, which is a usenet group.

Hi Andrew
You say that I should download a list of the groups and then search through
this. Do the groups not come from a variety of separate sources? Is there
such a thing as a single list of all the available groups? If so, have you
any idea of the url please.
Best wishes.
Andy.
