Aside from mailman, which seems maybe too hard, for me at least, to setup:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/181378/integrating-postfix-and-mailman

what alternatives are there to convert nntp to e-mail? Or, really,
anything else, even RSS. I see many RSS->NNTP scripts, but nothing going
the other way.


Thanks,

Thufir

What are you trying to set up Thufir? Posting Usenet traffic to a mailing list?

Just to read gwene.org in my e-mail inbox. Doh, don't know why I didn't
just use thunderbird from the beginning, it just didn't occur to me. Pan
is a better newsreader but doesn't have thunderbirds functionality for e-
mail.

That was why I asked the question - I couldn't think of a reason why
anyone would want to take Usenet and then mail it out to people, so I
thought you might have been going the opposite way. Glad you thought
of an alternative method of access.

(I myself miss Elm as an email package - not because it was brilliant,
but because it was what I got very used to on my Amiga a good few
years ago).

what I'm sort of considering is to copy the news posts to an mbox type inbox.
I've done this a few times and it's a bit awkward, but might be useful. I'm not
sure that there's much gain there, but it seems like there are more scripts to
operate on e-mail v. nntp. E-mail's just more prevalent.

What can automate that copy/paste operation? I see:

http://macroeditor.mozdev.org/

which might do that, but I'm just wondering if there are alternatives? Some
sort of ruby/python/etc script which I just can't find? Simple mailman or
something?


thanks,

Thufir
