sounds like a fetchmail variant - but the whole point of an nntp server is
fetching just those mails from the server that you _need_, not the whole
kit and kaboodle.

Has anyone tried a program called newsfectch. 

newsfetch is a powerfull utility to fetch news from an NNTP server and
stores in the mailbox format. The files created by newsfetch can be used
with any mail reader

Could this be used as a standard news mailing program in cooperation
with mutt?
