This brings to mind something I wished for (and looked around the Web
for) recently:
A way to have newsgroup messages emailed to me.
I don't necessarily need/want the ability to reply, I just want to have
'em show up in my mailbox like NewtonTalk does.
I know "cross posting" is possible, because messages mailed to the the
Info-VAX mailing list and messages posted on the comp.sys.os.vms (or
something like that ) newsgroup's messages are automatically sent to each
other.
I'm not really looking for cross-posting, though, just the ability to
have posts to (in this case) comp.sys.newton.* show up in my mailbox.
Perhaps a few others places.
Anybody know of any service like that?
