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. On Tue, 25 Sep 2001, Raul A. Gallegos wrote: > OK.
