Having ability to use nntp reader (Gnus) which I use for all my mailing lists (via Gmane) is big 'pro' to choose, among many other things, D over Rust. NNTP provides automatic archive, powerful search ability on disposal, no need to create sorting rules in order to keep my INBOX clean etc. No need to say, that it means that one can use one's preferred editor to compose *both* mail and news messages. Moreover, when I had to use Discourse forum, I almost never used web UI, but email interface... Similar to the, now old & aging, web forums, I simply do not get what is so great with things like Discourse forums in comparison with NNTP? Similar wondering I have over popularity of Gitter/Slack over IRC...it looks as these days it's fashion that one has to use special app for each protocol used... Sincerely, Gour -- One who restrains the senses of action but whose mind dwells on sense objects certainly deludes himself and is called a pretender.
