Just as importantly, it allows access to mailing lists using NNTP |
12 |
clients. I read all mailing lists using slrn. I find the "news" |
13 |
paradigm vastly superior to the "mail" paradigm for following mailing |
14 |
lists. |

Once in a while I use it for web access as well, but that's rare. |

I work from a variety of machines, and I still use the "classical |
24 |
newsreader". I do keep my .newsrc files at a central location where |
25 |
they are used from all the machines where I run slrn. |

I'm afraid you lost me there. Why does it matter where the archive is? |
