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 !
