Agreed! I notice that a lot of people post here from google. I did it too before I discovered the mailing list, which I now use because I haven't found a news reader that I like nearly as much as mutt. It's quite nice to combine email and news into one. If you have any suggestions for console-based newsreaders, I'm all ears. I have tried to setup "tin" in the past but the voluminosity of its documentation made me give up. -- _ _ ___ |V|icah |- lliott <>< [EMAIL PROTECTED] " " """ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
