Re: News! Go to the main menu screen of Pine, select "S" (setup) "C" (Configure) and tab down to "nntp server"  It should be set to  which will cause Pine to ignore the existence of a news server. BTW, before doing that, you might also check out Pine's newsgroup feature set. It's nicely integrated with the mail client, and is usually a fast and easy newsreader to use. That however, is just IMHO (In My Humble Opinion) others may have religous fervor concerning the newsreader you should use. At the end of the day, it's what suits *you* best that decides the issue. You can't beat the simplicity of Pine's newsreader though. Good Luck! -Colin > I use newsfetch to access my news. It works perfectly with Pine.
