KDE Pim 17.08.3 wants to remove knode

[Rob Brewer <granturav8@gmail.com>]

I'm aware its been some time since knode has been supported but until to-
days kdepim unstable upgrade knode has worked alongside kmail without 
problems, but now want's to remove knode.

As I read all my mailing lists through a mail2news gateway (including this 
one) and numerous other newsgroups from inn2 on a local server, this is a 
red line for me unless I can find a way of maintaining a newsreader on kde.

Is there a way forward  with knode or am I stuck with using thunderbird as 
my future mail/news reader.
