Well, if there were more than two, they wouldn't be "alternatives", would they?

Actually, getting a simple mail feed should not be very difficult since
most mail feeds are really insignificant when compared to typical news
feeds (except when the site makes heavy use of mail and lists you as
the best connection to the outside world (hi chk!)). Personally, I would
like to see lots and lots of mail connections so that mail can move
as quickly as possible.

The NetNews connectivity Henry has should not be very much out-of-date since
news feeds change much more slowly than do mail feeds. Maybe when Henry
gets back from Usenix, he will be able to find time between C News, catering
to the whimpers of news feeds (sorry, Henry!), Marco Polo,... to work
on the re-organization.
