Reading USENET news with mutt
Hi everybody! I'm a newbie in mutt. And my English isn't good, so please, be patient ;) As I know, I can read the USENET news from spool like a MH mailbox, but I have no idea how to post and/or followup discussion. Please point me in right direction. Tnx. -- Dennis Melentyev C/C++ programmer @ Mebius-KB, Kiev, Ukraine [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: news with mutt
On Jun/10/2000, Janek Richter wrote: i want to know if it is possible to read newsgroups in mutt. Yep! It's possible. But not simple :-) I do it with several Perl scripts of my own. I plan to tidy up and release them when I've solved some problems (as, for example, using them with another MTA different from QMail :-)). The process, once installed, is quite transparent: you get articles from the news server with a script, and configure which newsgroups to get with a .newsrc, similar to the one used by slrn. And to reply, you reply to a fake adddress containing the name of the group. It works, though I'm yet giving it the last polishing touches :-) But anyway, it's not trivial. I can give you the scripts to try for yourself, but I think they're not ready for general use yet. -- Roberto Suarez Soto · Fidonet in Spain: [EMAIL PROTECTED]· http://welcome.to/probbs Corgo/Lugo/Galicia/Spain · http://www.ctv.es/USERS/jtarrio
posting news with mutt
I have a, possibly, unusual question. I find it convenient to fetch news from a remote server in large batches and store them as mbox folders, for reading with mutt. Threading works fine, so why not? Now, the question is, can I use mutt's reply to compose a good followup message? Obviously I don't expect mutt to post it -- I'll pipe it to a posting program with 'set sendmail' or something like that -- but I need it to preserve/generate the needed headers. The Newsgroups: header is less of a problem, I can generate it automatically or even manually, but I wonder if there are additional Xref- or other news-related fields that mutt will or won't be able to create. Does anyone have any advice to offer on this? -- Anatoly Vorobey, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pobox.com/~mellon/ "Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly" - G.K.Chesterton
Re: posting news with mutt
I actually found a patch to mutt that someone has done to do this with mutt. Gets all the headers and stores them in mboxs. http://www.ing.umu.se/~connor/programs/mutt.html Note from page: What does it do? Same thing as any other news-reader, really. Except in the sense that most readers work in an online mode, where you are constantly connected to the news-server, getting each post as you read it. mutt-nntp works a little differently. It downloads all new posts in each group in your feed, and store them in folders of your liking, letting you manipulate them as any other mailbox. Posts, on the other hand, are sent to the server as soon as they are written, except when mutt works in offline mode, and just spools them to a file, for an external program to post them later. I have added a special composing menu and prompt-set for news-articles and a menu to work with the newsfeed and decide which groups to get and where to store the articles. Other than that, it is a perfectly normal mutt, version 1.0.1 and 1.2. If compiled without NNTP support, it behaves exactly like the 'real' version. If compiled with NNTP, the extra functionality is enabled without removing any of the mail-capabilities. Worth noting is that so far I have not modified the internal editor to be aware of news-articles, thus you will not be able to modify newsgroups from within the editor. I use vim myself, so it hasn't come up yet. I might get around to it one day, if I'm bored enough.

Note: The Shell-script needs the executable permissions for
its users. This is usually done by a 'chmod -v 755 slrn-mua.sh'
as root in the destination directory.
Now every time you use a 'r' to do a reply or a 'F' to do a
forwarding in slrn it will use 'mutt'.
Enjoy it! :-))

Re: news with mutt
This worked out wonderful. I wonder though, when I replied to a message,
it did use mutt fine, but all the headers from slrn news file went into
the reply. Is their a way to filter this out?
Also what feature of mutt can be used? It looked like it just used mutt
to deliver, is this correct?

news with mutt
hi, i want to know if it is possible to read newsgroups in mutt. Regards, Janek Richter -- )\_)\Janek Richter [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 0xEA6525D5(GnuPG) (o,o) __ \~/freebsd the power to serve.. http://www.freebsd.org --\/ http://ukug.uk.freebsd.org/~janek/ ~~ d d
Re: news with mutt
Janek Richter proclaimed on mutt-users that: i want to know if it is possible to read newsgroups in mutt. There is a patch available for an old version of mutt at http://www.mutt.org - or you can download something like newsfetch (rpm available at contrib.redhat.com - search google for the source) Better still, download and compile slrn - it's just like mutt ;) -- Suresh Ramasubramanian + [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, never daunted, I will cope with adversity in my traditional manner ... sulking and nausea. -- Tom K.
