Do you mean the (somewhat oldish) RMAIL mail reader in Emacs or the full news/mail reader Gnus? I find that Emacs/Gnus is great for reading LUGNET news groups off the NNTP server. I don't use the mail/news gateway, as I prefer not to have my mailbox clogged everytime I log on. I haven't been able to use Gnus for reading LUGNET offline, though, which is a pity since reading LUGNET at home can be a threat to my phone bills. When Gnus tries to download the unread LUGNET articles in offline mode, I sometimes get the error message "strange nov line" and sometimes the connection simply stops. I haven't reported this (yet) because it's all too vague. I would like to have some more information about what's failing, but it's hard to pinpoint. Has anybody else noticed anything similar? Reading rec.toys.lego offline from my local news server works flawlessly, so I find myself reading RTL more than LUGNET lately, which is not too good. RTL has quite bad signal to noise ratio nowadays. Fredrik

(...) I haven't seen that, but I wonder if what Emacs means by "nov line" is "news overview line"? (That would make sense too, if it croaks while fetching new articles.) Does it tell you which group it's downloading while it's doing that? If I knew (...) (25 years ago, 16-Feb-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
