I certainly have not read this list for a while... a newsreader within
LyX? Are you serious? I was under the impression that LyX was intended
to be an easy-to-use front end to LaTeX, not an 'eierlegende
Wollmilchsau'... some beast that produces eggs, wool, milk and
meat at the same time. That's certainly  what micro$oft permanently tries 
to create, not the traditional Unix approach of small, self contained
tools that can be combined to solve larger tasks.
