Mnews, Mini News Reader, is a small size news reader to handle news
|
||
|
|
and electronic mail messages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Goals of mnews' development are small size, fast operation and easy to
|
||
|
|
use interface.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As far as the size is concerned, both the program itself and the
|
||
|
|
memory usage are much smaller than those of emacs+gnus or vin.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We believe the speed of the program is also one of the fastest among
|
||
|
|
other news readers. (Though, we added various functions and they are
|
||
|
|
making the program a bit slower.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most effort was put on making mnews easy to operate. Most of the
|
||
|
|
message from the program is in Japanese, the operation is easy to
|
||
|
|
learn for both former gnus users and former vin users (basically, it's
|
||
|
|
Gnus compatible), and discarded multi-keystroke operations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MH, UCB mail and rmail style e-mail files can be handled with mnews.
|
||
|
|
Optionally, you can build a electronic bulletin board system.
|
||
|
|
(FreeBSD's package does not include the support for this function by
|
||
|
|
default, so you need to rebuild mnews using the files in the port
|
||
|
|
collection if you wish to use the feature.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also, MIME encoded headers using ISO-2022-JP can be handled.
