guess we have that now - FUT to lugnet.admin.nntp :)

well, the spooler right now just sits there all the time, getting messages once a
minute, and stores them on disk in a spool directory - each message would be stored
and linked by at least three indexes - by xref, by avid number, and by groups...
The the spooler writes a log file of each incoming message, and the client reads it
from the spool dir. Not great, but workable. I plan to write a telnet based
interface with it, so remote clients can read the spool as well. Now I'm just trying
to figure out if it's worth the bother, or just use the avid.cgi directly...

Thanks! That'd be great... Do you happen to know if there's a TK module for win?
The first release should be sometime this week (I hope), I just need to put some
finishing touches on it (and make it configurable - right now you'd have to change
your name in the code... :)

right, I did post with it, and I didn't wrap lines. I'm thinking of adding and
optional line wrapping feature, but in general I hate programs that force you to
break lines. So until I put it as an option, it's not going to be there :)
