Re: NNTP to email?
*Blush* I sent this to Paul and I meant to send it to the list so I am forwarding it. I should take my own advice and subscribe to the list. Sorry for the noise, Paul.

Can one do this with mutt? You can remove read articles with 'x' (with slrn) and you can tag, and operate on tagged articles (like mutt), or toggle collapse/uncollapse_threads (like mutt), but I can see no way to hide read articles as such. and can it use PGP? Nope. Good point. Looks like there is a macro here: http://www.thur.de/~Voland/pub/slrn/pgp-stuff.sl Contains macros for calling PGP (for checking signatures). Idiotically, PGP-2.6* don't returns useful error codes! We must wait for Open PGP for this ... I have not tried it. But there should be native support for PGP I reckon. There are no bugs about this in the BTS. I checked. Should I file one? Would it be wishlist? Thanks for your support on this list, by the way. Tony ---End Message---

NNTP to email?
I'm rather fond of mutt as an email client, and would like to use it to read Usenet articles too. I've been using a Python based NNTP downloader, but it's a bit slow, and doesn't seem to handle errors/failures very well. Does anyone have a suggestion as to a good way to achieve this using Debian (running mostly stable, with a few add ons)? I'm aware that there's a NNTP patch for mutt, but thought there is probably an easier way than a self-built mutt package (then I have to maintain it as mutt is updated, unless the NNTP patch makes it into mutt proper). - Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Well, slrnpull will download the articles for you, and you can read them with mutt then. But I would suggest to go the whole way, and just use slrn for news. I love mutt for mail myself, but I use slrn for news. Much the same feel as mutt gives you. -- Danie Roux *shuffle* Adore Unix -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Create a new list for each newsgroup that you read and then configure the lists as mail-news gateways. Subscribe yourself to the lists. Viola. Instant NNTP-via-SMTP. I did this just last week because I can't stand slrn or any other newsreader and it worked reasonably well (up until I remembered that usenet is a gigantic fucking waste of time and purged mailman :-) ). A few caveats: 1) I'm using unstable. Stable's mailman might not be able to gate news. 2) Make sure anyone can post to the lists, or mailman will hold all the articles for moderator/owner approval 3) see the exhaustive example mailman config file under /usr/share/doc/mailman/ to see how to store your NNTP server name password and such. 4) edit /etc/cron.d/mailman to change how often gate_news runs. The default is 5 minutes. :-) 5) the gate_news program by default catches up to newsgroups it hasn't seen before, so the lists won't see posts prior to the first run of gate_news. If you don't like this then you'll need to _temporarily_ hack gate_news before its first run (IIRC add something like watermark = 0 right after it sets watermark (not sure if that's the variable name). Be prepared for mailman to spend hours processing the results. happy hacking... brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
