Yes, a good mail user agent is still immensely better for reading

I would be overjoyed if the SJ Games forums were to be made available
via NNTP, since then I could use a standard, flexible newsreader of my
choice to get much of the same power of a mail user agent.
The web forum application, though, is hideously inflexible and
cumbersome to use.
I think that this horse has long since bolted, more's the pity, at least
when it comes to the general internet using public.
