But does it handle USENET postings?

The original poster was asking for a package which would handles USENET, as
well as e-mail, and I am interested in this, as well.  From what I could see on
the ishmail pages (granted, I was in a hurry and did not read all of it), I
could find no indication that this was also useable as a newsreader.  Did I
miss something?
