I'm sure this has been covered exhaustively, but since I'm new I'll fire
away.  I have news mounted on my machine (/usr/spool/news) and in .pinerc 
I have the following:

  news-collections=News *[]

and I can't read news.  I'm assuming the syntax is goofed up.   Any help
will be appreciated.

ciao,

Jason,

Do you also have /usr/lib/news/active and ~/.newsrc files?

Thanks for the report!

Is the file /usr/lib/news/active also online?  If not, you need to have
/usr/lib/news mounted on your machine too.
