> I think I might try a different client. Any suggestions? Binary or text? Binary, klibido works well, but I'm not sure on the status of kill-filing, as I used it some time ago. Text... there's many -- I /think/ knode has better filtering but again I've not used it for /quite/ awhile, and slrn is well regarded and pan's scoring is based in slrn's scoring, but slrn's is MUCH more powerful in that it can actually score on the post itself, not just the overview headers, and its scores have include directives and all sorts of similar fancy stuff that has (AFAIK) never been implemented in pan. I've also heard good things about (Sylpheed) Claws, and tried it years ago but rejected it then for various reasons, including IIRC that I wanted a binary client too, and it didn't do yEnc. However, that may well have changed over the years and even if not, it's likely fine for text. It's not something I'd consider since I don't do proprietaryware (couldn't even if I wanted to, legally, since I no longer sign away my rights agreeing to EULAs or the like, and don't accept the usual damage waiver if it's black-box, if I can't see what's in the box, I'm not taking responsibility for the damage it may cause, thus getting legal permission to install or run it even if I wanted to would be... difficult), but I've also read that Joe's suggestion, Forte Agent, works well under wine. Then of course, if you're an emacs fan, there's gnews, which if it doesn't do what you want already, is certainly quite extensible to do so using lisp, but then if you were an emacs fan, I'd expect you'd know that... -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
