Subject: batch downloading from remote server w/o local NNTP server?
Date: Wed, 07 Oct 1998 15:59:53 GMT [thread overview]
Message-ID: <r8pvc4xswt.fsf@Hayek5.derwent.co.uk> (raw)
Who else does something like that
or is interested in that kind of thing?
I mean, I don't want to bother running INN (or whatever)
on my notebook PC,
and I don't want to wait for the `timely expiration'
of those hundreds of messages under INN control,
but I rather want to expire/expunge those messages in my usual nnfolders
(or nnml if you prefer).
----------
Did I reinvent the wheel, or ...
----------
Well I use the `suck' package
to download news server batch files,
split the news messages into the ~/incoming directory
(somehow like procmail) (-> that's another one of my small python utilities),
and read them using regular nnfolders.
For posting I use a mail2news gateway.
Not that my approach is already handsome enough
to announce and distribute it,
but maybe people want to comment on it ...
.
