Schwartz) on Fri, 07 Feb 2003 | I'm a road warrior. My laptop goes with me. But sometimes, I'm in an | internet cafe that won't let me plug in my laptop (more often than | not, in fact). So I want to read my email directly on my server. | Your setup won't work. Thanks for the suggestions but it's not | applicable at all. I don't see the inapplicability, just the need for one more step: rsync your News and Mail dirctories and .newsrc files between your notebook and server as necessary and possible (ie, in your hotel room). Then you can use Gnus on your notebook when you can and on your server when necessary, and you have a backup of your notebook mail files in case the notebook is stolen or breaks. -- Rat \ Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
