BUT - NNTP requires a network connection - what we want is
something that works mainly local, and updates in one hit
when the network connection is available. Current eMail
download takes 'minimum call charge' and I can read at

I do monitor some of the Borland lists, but its a pain so
they don't get much of my attention <g>
