I didn't see the start of this thread so sorry if this is a repeat... There is an NNTP patch for mutt, and some people swear by it. There are a lot of arguments against the patch, but integrating mail and NNTP is not such a crazy idea... fundamentally they're basically the same thing, with a lot of the same types of operations and behaviors. There obviously are important differences though, and mutt just wasn't really written with that in mind, so the integration (codewise) is a bit clunky. You can find out about the NNTP patch, and a bunch of other useful patches, here: http://wiki.mutt.org/?PatchList -- Derek D.
