I'm sure this query has come up before, but I don't know what software is
already out there.
I know some people who get email but not Usenet, and were interested in
reading certain Usenet groups. An obvious solution to this problem would
be to have a program which scanned the news spool partition for new articles
in appropriate newsgroups, and then sent these articles (perhaps bundling
them together or removing extraneous header information first) to the
appropriate email addresses. (The program would, of course, have to know
what articles it had already sent out.)
I could write one of these myself, but I suspect that somebody has already
written a general forwarding program for the Net. Could someone let me
know how to obtain such a program, assuming it already exists in the public
domain?
Please respond by email, as I do not subscribe to these groups.
