Installing client software to read email feels like I'm back on my Amiga in the 90's ;) I feel quite the opposite. Recently my email provider lured me into some paid option by cleverly placing a buy option right after the login where you expect some inbox button. With a client software you know what you have. Things don't unexpectedly change. You can have your messages on your computer and don't depend on internet and server uptime. Well, I'd say that about any cloud service I guess. Congrats on fixing it so it doesn't send the html version! This is much better. Yeah sorry. I could never tell the difference. Since it's not a full client, it doesn't have features like raw-view or anything. If posts actually contain something that cannot be represented in plain text I don't mind some HTML. All posts load quickly in Claws Mail anyways, regardless of mime-type. It's just not so exciting to view the very same text message with a non-default font. :p -- Marco

I've actually attempted at it, but I'm a little bit newbyish with newsgroups. Really could use a proper tutorial on this subject.

Whatever this is, can we get rid of it? another side-effect: no threading is occurring on d.bugs on my newsreader. It used to thread these messages properly. For some reason, the long pauses have gone away. -Steve

I noticed for a while now that Manu's posts are very large, even though there aren't that many lines of text in them. Examining the posting source shows that the content of Manu's posts are repeated, once in HTML and once in plain text. Perhaps the delay is because your newsreader is trying to load an HTML rendering engine for Manu's posts, which it would not for regular text ones.

I still haven't worked out how to even use a newsreader with the ntp server. I'm still relying on the web interface. So I'm definitely not alone in seeing this one.

Couldn't get used to it. It just felt like an inconvenience. I'm sure it's great, it's just unfamiliar to me, and it feels a bit over-kill installing a whole big software package for no reason other than reading one mailing list. I like gmail. I've been using it for the better part of 10 years, and I can access it from anywhere. Installing client software to read email feels like I'm back on my Amiga in the 90's ;)
