Hi

I'm writing this from NNTP news reader. It seems fetching new
articles using NNTP is very slow (Mystic A49). It can take
one minute or so to load a single article using NNTP.

Any idea why this is so? I would like to use news reader
to read my echomails.

Hi/Update

Tried two newsreaders which both didn't work (one of them was
Thunderbird). Finally found that Claws Mail works correctly with Mystic
BBS NNTP which is buggy.

yeah i gave up on it when i tried it. duno if the protocol has evolved separately from what the RFC says or what.. (i.e. Mystic does it the old way? who knows)
