Hmm, well there are several major differences.
1) webnews cache's the list of groups, and xover information
within a group this allows
better threading behaviour and better performance
2) webnews has more powerful templates (compatible with our
webmail product
3) webnews logins can be shared with our webmail products (so a
user can login to one
and not have to login to the other)
4) webnews display of mime and various other message types is
probably better and more
correct.
Basically dnewsweb is simple and nice for a quick look at a news group,
webnews is a bit
fancier with more options for tailoring and probably the better choice for
new developments particularly if you want to integrate it with our webmail
products.
