But when you post a message to a newsgroup, you actually send an e-mail,
don't you agree? I think newsgroups and e-mails have very much in common,
except the communication protocol which is much like POP or IMAP, so why
having a different program for that?
I would like to see my favorite newsgroup "inboxes" next to my personal
mailboxes.
