[comp.mail.mh] Using MH to read usenet/msgs

ulysses@cary102.its.rpi.edu (John M Twilley) (02/04/91)

How would one go about reading Usenet with xmh?

Personal Email would be best, so as to not unnecessarily clog the net.

Thanks in advance,
Jack

  perhaps you would prefer to read the news with faster readers and
  then use mh for reading saved articles.

  to set the default save location so that mh can read them, use:

	rn -M -/

  or in your nn presentation sequence:

	news.announce.		+$F/$N
	news.software.nn	+
	.
	.

  create a symbolic link from your mail directory (ie. news) to your news
  directory, and then you can treat your news directory as a mail
  folder.  thus, to select a news group, use folder +news/news/software/nn.

  enjoy!
