I can imagine why you don't want to maintain it yourself :)

I know, but I guess if you use mutt you know how convenient it is. It's
really a *great* news reader too (with the patch). News and mails are so
similar that I can see the point on mail clients supporting NNTP.

I guess I will have to keep using my ol' muttng package or start patching
mutt myself =(, because I won't give up using mutt as my news client =)

AFAIK the patch is well maintained (at least I know it was, maybe is not
the case anymore). The patch linked in #403779 seems to be up to date.
Patches for mutt 1.5.20:
http://mutt.org.ua/download/mutt-1.5.20/

But yes, it seems like a very large patch indeed.

Sure, thanks for your time and consideration :)
