Sometimes it is necessary to transmit news via mail, to deal
with network connections that have no notion of arbitrary
file transfer or non-mail traffic. These programs handle
unbatched transmission and batched or unbatched reception.
(Batched transmission is handled by the batching subsystem;
see _n_e_w_s_b_a_t_c_h(8).)
_M_a_i_l_n_e_w_s accepts news from its standard input, encodes it
using _b_e_n_c_o_d_e (see _b_e_n_c_o_d_e(1) or _n_e_w_s_b_a_t_c_h(8)) to ensure
that stupid mailers do not corrupt it, and mails it to the
_a_d_d_r_e_s_ses.
_S_e_n_d_n_e_w_s does likewise, but uses an inferior method of
mailer protection (prepending `N' to each line) which does
not protect against all forms of mailer brain-damage. It is
provided for backward compatibility; its use is discouraged.
_M_a_i_l_n_e_w_s and _s_e_n_d_n_e_w_s are located in the default path of
transmission commands in the _s_y_s file (see _n_e_w_s(5)) so that
they can be used from there without giving a full pathname.
_R_e_c_e_n_e_w_s receives encoded news sent by _m_a_i_l_n_e_w_s or a
batcher, decodes it, and feeds it to _r_n_e_w_s (see _r_n_e_w_s(8)).
_R_e_c_p_n_e_w_s does likewise for mail protected with `N'.
Normally one should arrange that mail arriving at the
mailbox ``enews'' is sent to _r_e_c_e_n_e_w_s and likewise for
``rnews'' (the name is historical, for compatibility again)
and _r_e_c_p_n_e_w_s.
