I'm guessing here but I know you can pull mail from a remote server
(including id and password) Wonder if you can do the same with a news
server. I played with the IMAP thing several years ago and now can't
remember how I authenticated myself to the other host. I wonder what goes
in the square brackets immediately following the server name? The example
I've seen in the pine.conf files would show a [] right after the name but
I never saw an explanation of what could go in there.
