getting news from multiple servers
[This message has also been posted.] Currently, when reading USENET news, I start up my ppp connection and read off of my ISP's news (NNTP) server. But, there are some newsgroups that are specific to my school, maintained on my school's NNTP news server. I would like to read these, without having to first ssh to my University account and read news. As of now, this is the only way, though, because if I try to access the school's NNTP server from home, I am not allowed to connect (I have to connect from a University client, in otherwords). Is there a way around this? Optimally, I'd like have a script that would call up my ISP, get the newsgroups I want from that server, then connect with my school's server, and get those messages. When I installed Debian 1.3.1, I had inn and innfeed installed, but I've never used these before, and don't really know where to start... but I believe I can use these to accomlish what I want? Any hints or suggestions would be thoroughly appriciated. Thanks again -- garman AT uiuc DOT edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

pine user converts to mutt
[This message has also been posted.] I used to use pine as an email client, quite happily, but recently I've switched to mutt for it's threading and color support (and I just wanted something new). Anyway, I'm probably overlooking something obvious, but I'm having trouble understanding mutt's folder management concept. I want to skim through my messages, reading them as I go. After reading a message, I may want to save it, and in pine I would hit a key to save it to a folder. I've seen the "C" command in mutt: I can read an email, "C"opy it to a folder, but mutt doesn't automatically delete the message after it's been copied. Also, it puts the folder right off of the root of my home directory. I'd rather have it make a sub directory, say ~/mutt-mail/ where folders could go (like pine :). I just don't get it! Any advice, help, or otherwise will be sincerely appreciated. Thanks! -- garman AT uiuc DOT edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

nn dumps core
[This message has also been posted.]
Hello:
I just installed a fresh Debian 1.3.1 Linux system. I cannot get nn
("No news is good news" news reader). I have the $NNTPSERVER set
correctly, and also /etc/nntpserver is also correct.
When I type nn, it prints two lines, one that looks like a preliminary
check of my news server (it's calling the correct one), then another
line that's basically the same but has "(posting okay)" added to the
end. Then it just sits there for a very LONG time. I'm on a 28.8
modem using ppp; when nn freezes, I see the "rd" light continuously
flashing for a long time. Then the light will stop, nn will quit with
a segmentation fault, and the core will be dumped. What gives?
Any help would be sincerely appreciated.
Thanks a million,
garman AT uiuc DOT edu

mutt not in color
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello: I just installed mutt on my computer and it is not in color. Here is an output of "mutt -v": Mutt 0.91i (1998-04-11) Copyright (C) 1996-8 Michael R.

I also tried explicitly setting the TERMINFO variable to my terminfo database path. Nothing works. It's nasty.
