[news.software.b] How to get news articles by mail.

abbott@aerospace.aero.org (Russell J. Abbott) (02/02/91)

I'm teaching an Intro-to-Computers class and would like my students to
experience the newsgroups.  Unfortunately, my school does not support
them.  I've been told that there is a way to have news articles
delivered by email.  Is that true, and if so how does not go about it?
Thanks.

In B-news, you simply have your feed site add a line such as follows
to the news "sys" file.
