Hi !
This is really *hot* stuff ! Is there still some time and some
space on the 2.1 CD ??? ;-)
Well this is _the_ coolest X11 NNTP newsreader I ever saw, here
some infos from the WEB page:
True threading, with a graphical tree for the threads.
Full support for reading MIME articles, except message/partial.
Some options that will improve things for people reading over slow lines:
o Background threading of groups in advance.
o Doesn't have to read the active file or group descriptions on startup.
o A mechansim for reading the spool directory.
o Kill file support. Articles can be
- marked read (killed), or
- marked with color blobs, based on regular expressions.
o Regular expression searching in articles and the newsgroup list.
o XPAT searching.
o Can use different fonts and colors for quoted text and headers in articles
o Lots of action procedures that can be tied to keys.
o Supports multiple nntp servers.
o Tagging of articles and saving or piping them in order.
o Uudecode function. Not perfect, but handles most cases.
I put the source, the port and the tarballs into the incoming
directory on ftp.freebsd.org:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ftp daemon 66 Nov 18 16:38 knews-0.9.3-port.tgz
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ftp daemon 343039 Nov 18 16:42 knews-0.9.3.tar.gz
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ftp daemon 150666 Nov 18 16:44 knews-0.9.3.tgz
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ftp daemon 132 Nov 18 16:44 knews-README
Really, cool stuff. Please try it out !
