For performance reasons, I don't try to read news with nntp from my ISP. Instead, I run a script on my ISP's telnet machine which uses nntp to collect up all the news I might want to read, build spool files out of it, and compress it. I download the compressed file, unpack it into my ~/.incoming directory, and let GNUS populate my nnml directories with it. This works great...until I want to send an article. Then I create a foreign nntp group, load a couple of articles from it, and post my message. Then I delete the group, etc. Luckily, I don't post news all that often, what can I say, I lurk a lot ;-) For several months now (basically since I started doing this ;-), I've known there must be a better way. Can someone point me to it? RTFM is a perfectly reasonable response, but it would help if the applicable FM was identified ;-) --norm
