That's a really great thing. Imagine I want to burn all my nnml messages on a CD and read them at home. Then I could burn the bits file, too, and everything would be as if I was still at work, except that maybe I'm using a different NNTP server at home, and stuff. kai -- ~/.signature: No such file or directory
