Stu, it doesn't have a fully implemented news handling system yet, though they are working on one. Currently it can receive news in one of two ways: into the Public mailbox in QuickMail, or to a user with the name News. If you put news into Public, you can read it happily, though there's no division of newsgroups. If you put it into a News user, you can either log in to QuickMail as News and read it the same way, or you could write a program that would do various things to the messages, like sorting them into groups. They are planning to add a very complete news handler, and don't want to do so until they can get it right. :-) I approve. -- Mark H.
