NAME

news - a read-only web fron-end to a local news server

SYNOPSIS

news [message-id]

DESCRIPTION

news connects to the local news server via NNTP on port 119, lists all the groups and allows read-only access.

An optional message-id can be provided on the command line. A link to this article serves as the "start here" link on the front page.

For each group, only posts made in the last seven days are shown. The From field is stripped of anything in angled brackets in an effort to remove email addresses: \s*<.*>

For each article, an attempt is made to scrip email addresses by removing anything in angled brackets: \s*<\S*?@.*?>
