OT: It occured to me that many, including you, have this awfully fuzzy font 
rendering. Aren’t you bothered by that? (Assuming you’re on a TFT). When I 
look at your image, my view starts floating on a plane in front of the screen.

See http://i47.tinypic.com/1zxsbok.png

As you can see, I’m also using a mail client for those lists. At the 
beginning, I used my Uni’s news server, but at some point, I couldn’t post to 
this list anymore through NNTP. So I had to switch to mail interface.

But even though local archiving works better with mails (articles are gone 
from the news server after a short while), I’d prefer the NNTP way though, 
it’s easier to view the list filtered (e.g. no ignored threads).
