Thor, on the amiga treated newsgroups and mail as interchangeable, and I 
found that to be useful until the spammers came to the party.  Then it 
didn't bother me a bit to lose that when I first fired up the first 
linix box I built in 1997. NNTP is the news reader and I don't even know 
if its installed.  Shrug.
