That addresses the physical storage, but the reason I want news format is I prefer the nn/trn interface over the mail readers I've used--the ability to see a screen of subjects, pick what I want to read, then hit a key to (1) go to the next screen and (2) mark "read" all I did not mark on the first screen. In nn/trn, I mark all I want to read, clear all the rest, then start reading; in Mutt, it's more effective to read as I go, but that means all the stuff I'm not interested in hangs around in the topic list until I get clear to the bottom of the whole file. Now, if you know of a mail reader sporting an nn/trn-style UI, I'm all ears! :) -- Doug Lee dgl@dlee.org http://www.dlee.org Bartimaeus Group doug@bartsite.com http://www.bartsite.com "If you refuse to be made straight when you are green, you will not be made straight when you are dry." {African} To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
