[Mailman-Developers] Feature suggestion: NNTP gateway

[John Viega]

I wrote Mail->News and News->Mail gatewaying over the weekend.  I
haven't been able to test it yet, because I have to get posting access
to a news server for list.org before I can.  Luckily, a friend of mine
is the news admin at Erols, so that should actually be today.  So 
the feature you want will work by tomorrow, no doubt :)
