[nycbug-talk] Re: BSD Success Stories (fwd)

I personally use procmail to filter my list mail (^list-id:.*nycbug.org>) 
away from my mail spool and put it into a local news spool - yes a
news spool.  It has made my life quite pleasant: i use my mail client
to read mail.  and then i use an old timey news client (nn or emacs'
gnus) to read all my mailing lists.  i like the separation.  i don't
need threading to read my mail spool, but do like it to read list
mail.  nn will get me through my list mail quickly too.  Granted a
NNTP server would do the same thing, but I don't think it's viable plus
you have to be online to use it (unless you know tin or soap...).
