Perhaps SuSE could set up a mirrored news server so that we can use a newsreader to read the messages. I feel much more comfortable with a newsreader interface (nn) for such a volume of articles.
I'm not sure exactly what about news is more comfortable to you, but you
It adds a couple of things which mailboxes won't do like deleting old messages. Otherwise mailboxes grow until you run out of money. I know of people who complain about their mail being slow. Usually they kept all their mail in the incoming file. On sites where I was sysadmin, they used to get truncated to zero length - never any complaints about data lost.
might want to try mutt as a mail reader. It offers many features for dealing with mailing lists. It will display messages as threads, which you can collapse... It has scoring, aliases, mailing list reply features, etc... and it is highly configurable.
The last bit scares me. Haven't ever used mutt. I'll look at it some time when I can get ahead of the work.
Since you use Elm, the switch would be relatively painless because the layout and keybindings are based upon Elm. The look of mutt is also very similar to slrn (the news reader).
Never used slrn. Didn't appear as terse as nn so I left it after a quick look. -- Bernd Felsche - Innovative Reckoning Perth, Western Australia -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
