what I'm sort of considering is to copy the news posts to an mbox type inbox. 
I've done this a few times and it's a bit awkward, but might be useful.  I'm not
sure that there's much gain there, but it seems like there are more scripts to
operate on e-mail v. nntp.  E-mail's just more prevalent.

What can automate that copy/paste operation?  I see:

http://macroeditor.mozdev.org/

which might do that, but I'm just wondering if there are alternatives?  Some
sort of ruby/python/etc script which I just can't find?  Simple mailman or
something?


thanks,
