Re: lynx-dev NNTP question

[DAG1::SSHKARUPO]

Thanks for your reply, maybe I'll get a separate newsreader program...  or stop
wasting my time reading usenet...

As far as the page with a bad e-mail address, it was http://lynx.browser.org.
I guess home page is a better word.  Only yesterday the address was 
address@hidden, and now it's address@hidden  I know that's what
everybody says, but it really happened, honest!  :)

Thanks again,

Sorry, unfortunately news reading capabilities in Lynx don't provide
such features and I don't think it's viable idea to enlarge Lynx into=20
full-scale newsreader with bells and whistles as there's already=20
several such programs available, although I've to admit that I wouldn't=20
mind few less dramatic improvements (hiding ugly  "Status (ARTICLE=20
<number>): 423 Bad article number" texts from article lists and adding=20
References to followups).

If you're wanting to read news in fancier way than what Lynx provides,
I suggest you to install a dedicated news program, I know that atleast
Slrn[1] should run on VMS...

Ok, mailed both to you and lynx-dev.
