In pine, S=Setup, C=Config. The third option = nntp server. Set it as
news.vsnl.net.in. That way, news.vsnl.net.in/nntp will be listed as
another folder in pine. Better still, install slrn - its a cool
newsreader - just like mutt. Has killfiles, score files etc etc as well.
Problem - thanks to the efforts of a spammer called Hipcrime, most news
servers have killfiled anything with news.vsnl.net.in in the path. Take
your chances ...
