I don't know; comp.mail.misc is hardly overwhelmed with traffic.
That's because they're running a mailing list, which is large and getting
larger. I think converting it to a newsgroup is a good idea.

Yep, it's about time Mush gets a group of its' own!
A newsgroup will help further its development.

>I don't know; comp.mail.misc is hardly overwhelmed with traffic. > /r$ I have been archiving much of the traffic on the mush-users mailing list (of which there are over 120 subscribers). Very few messages contrast elm or mailx to mush; very many are mush-specific. In other words, a "misc" group is probably not appropriate. I support the creation of a new mush usenet news group, not only for us "beta-testers," but also for the "leaches" of usenet so that they can suck information, without having to be a beta-tester, contribute code, bug reports, or suggestions. We could "take over" comp.mail.misc, but I think it's cleaner to form our own group. -- -Mitchell F.

My main interest for mush is as a replacement for mailtool on Suns. Here we've had many problems with mailtool but people like it because of the mouse interface. -- ==================================================================== ARPA: cew@venera.isi.edu PHONE: (213)822-1511 ext. 111 USPS: USC Information Sciences Institute 4676 Admiralty Way, Suite 1100 Marina del Rey, CA 90292 Slogan: "nemo me impune lacessit" ====================================================================
