Re: console-based newsreader that handles binary attachments (&yenc)

actually, i may not need it now after all.
originally part of the problem was that twm displayed
Pan painfully slow over the internet (via vnc) to my
home machine.
continuing to 'tinker' i discovered that icewm is
significantly faster for displaying apps (like Pan and
any other kde/gnome app).

just thought I'd share that little personal discovery
in case there was someone interested.

cheers,
