Hello Peter,

I do use the free version of MailTraq and it works a treat. Perhaps
not easy to grasp and configure at first, but it's worth the effort.

MailTraq is a quite complete package but I basically just use the News
to Mail and Mail to News gateways, so that I can manage newsgroups as
if they were normal mail lists like this one. The basic idea is that
MailTraq collects my favourite newsgroups from different servers and
converts them to e-mail that is forwarded to one of my accounts. When
I collect this account it is like if news messages where coming from
mail lists, I filter them to different folders and voila! When I want
to post or reply I write a message to the "newsgroup e-mail address"
that MailTraq has set up for each newsgroup, and that I have
configured in the templates for each newsgroup folder. When MailTraq
receives my messages, it converts them appropriately and sends them to
the corresponding news server.

If the list moderator(s) don't consider this OT, I will start a new
thread with subject "Newsgroups with The Bat! and MailTraq", or
something similar, to give more detailed hints on setting up the whole
thing. And, if considered OT, I will send you the details privately.

Until I have time to start this new thread (hopefully later today),
if you haven't seen it already, you may want to take a look at:
