Subject: How to subscribe to newsgroups with Pine

Hello!  How can one tell which newsgroups are available on a news host using 
Pine?  I don't think it has newsgroup subscription support yet.  Is the 
"Spring" version of Pine going to have subscription support?  What's the 
best workaround now?  Copy the entire list of newsgroups to each person's 
account?

Also, will the next version allow one to post an article to a newsgroup?  
Will that be through NNTP, through SMTP (e.g., ZMailer), or something else?

Many thanks.

Shahjehan,

The "spring" release of Pine will include subscription and posting via NNTP. 
Currently the best work-around is to use trn, tin, nn, etc for
subscription/posting.  

Thanks for the request!
