Regarding the sinntp package. >From man page, nntp-pull: ---begin quoted text--- EXAMPLES nntp-pull --server=news.example.org --limit=50 ?comp.os.linux>os-linux? Fetches at most the 50 newest articles from the newsgroup comp.os.linux located on news.example.org server and appends them to the os-linux mailbox file. ---end quoted text--- Should that not read "?comp.os.linux>>os-linux?" (two >'s) to append to rather than overwrite a news file? -- Kind Regards, Freeman
