- Thank you to all who responded to my questions about MIME smart news readers.
- Several of you told me that the current version (v2.4) of MetaMail has patches
- for TRN (Threaded News Reader) included. Sure enough the mailers.txt file
- contained these. I ftp'd v2.4 of TRN, applied the patches and read my own
- post. Still a few things to work out though.

- Dialup has nothing to do with it at all. I use a dumb terminal and 1200 baud
- modem to read most of my mail and news. The RichText should work just fine
- on any terminal with a half decent termcap. Is RichText readable without a
- RichText viewer? You tell me I my last post was RichText, I think you can see
- what I said.
