I'm tired of Mozilla, Thunderbird, etc. eating memory. I could kill them every so often and memory gets reclaimed, but it's not terribly convenient at times. The reason I use Thunderbird is for the news reading capability. I have Cyrus/Imap implemented, and I was wondering if there is any good way to read newsgroups into email directories. Then I could use Mulberry or some other email client that doesn't offer news support. -- Jim Sabatke Hire Me!! - See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

Look at slrn/slrnpull. Slrnpull downloads the new similar to retrieving email and slrn reads news and is very similar to an email client (elm, mutt). -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711

Look at Knode, part of the KDE stuff, or Pan. News is not Email and probably is best handled by packages designed for the task rather than hacking a mail package to handle it. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Forte Agent under wine. Pan is supposed to be it's Linux equivalent, but I prefer Agent. You ought to be able to download a copy of Free Agent and install it under wine. Mike
