Also, unlike when using a mail client, with usenet you don't have to |
| 28 |
download the message/thread if you're not interested in reading it. |

Back to the OP's topic, I am also using Knode (but not for this M/L). |
| 31 |
If you set your USE flags right you should be able to continue using |
| 32 |
Kmail/Knode without some of the dependencies that the full KDE4 |
| 33 |
desktop requires. However, I don't know if from KDE4.4 changes on |
| 34 |
dependencies (as per recent thread on semantic-desktop) mean that more |
| 35 |
of these will be pulled in. |
