Subject: Reading NEWS with PINE - HELP?

I've tried reading news with pine, and it works great.
But I miss some functions which I'm used to when I use tin newsreader.

Will postings be there forever if you don't delete them, or do you have 
to delete them to avoid getting lots of postings.
Is there a catchup feature?

Thanks!

Yes, you have to explicitly delete them.  The pine team are strongly of the
opinion that mail and news are exactly the same thing.  Of course, the news
spool will ultimately expire them, but that is not what you mean.

You can select a bunch of articles, zoom them, read them, saving any you
want to, then select all the zoomed articles and apply delete to them, but
that is too confusing for me.  I am sticking with nn.
