Hehe, I wish that I looked for this this before I did my conversion - it would have saved me some effort. I personally prefer python to perl but I wrote the original palmpilot newsreader (that uses the palm's memopad app) years ago (before I'd ever used python). > Threading is done by using headers, rather than > alphabetic sorting, so it's > easy to follow discussions. Yes this is much nicer. I only did the alphabetical thing out of laziness as it's trivial to do with a hash. I also remove all quotes (which can make following complicated discussions with multiple people difficult to follow). > It needs some tidying, but I'd love it if someone > added better MIME > handling, quote editing and alternative index pages. > Ability to use its own > newsrc would probably be good, too.

I just did the news->html script as a stop-gap measure. ===== -- Ross http://mobile.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
