Wouldn't is be wonderful to have "Eudora/News"? Many of the user
interface features of Eudora would be useful for a news reader. I tried
TheNews (1.1, 1.2, 1.4) and was very dissappointed. I can't understand
how it can not support cut and paste - isn't that a standard for the
mac? I have returned to reading news via nn on the host.
