In article <8082.1526663634@localhost> you write: >> NNTP is actually two separate protocols. ... >We do have the common IMAP server, ... >I would probably prefer to use NNTP to access that system, as the good old >news reader tools still beat most mail readers (for me, who still lives in >emacs), but they also don't handle HTML email. (Maybe that's a good thing, >given efail) Funny you should mention that. I have a little script that copies messages on the lists I read from the IETF IMAP server to local newsgroups to my local NNTP server, which I then read with my newsreader. The groups are marked as moderated which means that "posted" articles are mailed instead, and it sends them to the appropriate list. Works great. Re HTML messages, newsreaders have evolved since you used trn twenty years ago. Take a look. Thunderbird's not bad. Setting up an IETF NNTP server with all of the lists as newsgroups wouldn't be very hard, give or take the usual hassles of setting up a new service and being sure it's someone's job to oversee it.
