Just so I understand correctly, are you saying you would like to be able to read HN using an nntp client?

- rdl 13y agoYes!

- rdl 13y agoYeah, I meant for each top port to be a thread, and threaded comments below that.
- tzs 13y agoI want that for mail. I keep planning to write something that can connect to an IMAP server and present the contents via NNTP, but it is low enough on my list that I don't know if I'll ever do it. I know that the effect can be achieved by running an NNTP server, and using a mail/news gateway, but that's a lot more complex. Most NNTP servers are meant for big multiuser situations, and that makes configuring them complex, and often requires a lot of supporting software. Massive overkill for someone who just wants to read their mail in their newsreader and get a good threaded message view with a good UI.
