nnyahoo? Any way to read Yahoo message boards in gnus?

[Ted Stern]

Is there any way to read Yahoo message boards in gnus?

For example, 

    http://messages.yahoo.com/?action=q&board=IBM

Gnus' threading plus the handy 'k' key would make it so much easier to
kill off irrelevant threads.

Web scraping modes are a pain to maintain, so unless there's anybody
with an active interest in Yahoo message boards, it's probably not
going to happen.

And it wouldn't make much sense. You can get the messages via mail
directly or use rss
(http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/groups/rss/rss-02.html) either natively
with Gnus or converted to mails with rss2email
(http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/rss2email/ <= great stuff)

Did you ever realize how much text fits in eighty columns? If you now consider
that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough
space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize
this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bullshit nobody will read.
