Why is it that this shows up in my folder list as a "News-collection," i.e.:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
News-collection <News on imap.mid.net>                              (Remote)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why isn't it a "Folder-collection"?

Also, this particular mailing list is linked to the newsgroup
comp.internet.net-happenings, so if you have access to newsgroups
then you may prefer to read this as a newsgroup.  Does anyone
know if the link between the net-happenings mailing list and 
newsgroup is bidirectional?

Thanks,
Nancy

MIDnet now provides "IMAP" access to all contributions mailed to the
net-happenings mailing list.   This means if you have a mail client that
is imap-compliant (i.e., pine), you may read the latest articles off
MIDnet's IMAP server.  By offering this kind of access, you don't have to
subscribe to net-happenings yourself, just rely on MIDnet to provide you
the articles.  The format for accessing an IMAP server is:

	*{imap.mid.net/anonymous}pub/NET/yy-mm-dd

where you replace yy with "94", mm with "11", "10", etc and dd with "01",
"11", etc.

For example, after you press "g" in pine (for the "go-to" command), you 
would enter the above string like this:

	*{imap.mid.net/anonymous}pub/NET/94-11-21

If you have comments or suggestions on how this service might be improved,
