(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. + +- Masafumi |
