-- I've no trouble connecting up to a local newsserver that requires login, interactively, using the .newsauth file as documented in the 'URL Schemes Supported in Lynx' document to handle the login details. If, however, I try doing a -dump or -source: Connecting to NewsHost ... Looking up news.lafn.org Making NNTP connection to news.lafn.org lynx: Can't access startfile nntp://news.lafn.org/comp.lang.forth -- Is this intentional behaviour for lynx or a bug? I've nothing to base this on, but my suspicion is that non-interactively, Lynx is confused about where to look for the .newsauth file. Another problem with reading news is that I can look at messages with w3m at textnews.news.cambrium.nl, but trying the same with lynx, I can get the list of messages, but trying to look at a specific message produces: Network Error: connection lost -- (No such problem with the local server interactively.) Any idea if I'm doing something wrong there? (I'm on the digest, you might want to CC me for quicker responses.) Thanks, Dallas E.
