I can't even SSH out to run Gnus on a different machine. But HTTP and HTTPS are open, and web browsers can be used to surf the internet. I have been pondering to install some webmail solution on my mail server, but: 1. All of the webmails I have tried have had a user interface I don't like (and also unfamiliar) 2. Existing webmail systems won't give me NNTP access to Gmane So: would it be possible to create a web service that could run Gnus in a web browser? The user experience could be similar to what I get from ssh or mosh. That would be good enough just to check my email, and check for responses to Gmane group postings. (On the other hand... maybe a slight disconnection from the net will do me good...) - Steinar
