I haven't seen discussion on this lately,
You haven't been reading gnu.emacs.gnus and gnu.emacs.gnews.
I know that there are at least three news readers available for use
with emacs: gnews, gnus, and one recently named jnews or something
like that.
I don't recall hearing of jnews.
What do people prefer and what ftp sites have them?
You can get gnews and GNUS from tut.cis.ohio-state.edu.
I use GNUS, mainly because it was easier to get running a coupla years
ago. Now it seems to have a more active user community, and has been
updated at least twice since gnews was. Also, while both authors have
disappeared (GNUS' author temporarily twice, gnews' author unheard
from in a year or two) from the net, at least GNUS' author delegated
support responsibility to someone nearby.tale@cs.rpi.edu (David C Lawrence) (06/09/90)
Something that might influence your decision about whether to use
GNUS, Gnews, Jnews or Rnews is that GNUS has been selected as the
replacement for Rnews in the Emacs distribution.
