The program *does* do the dull work.  It took me like 2 minutes to
learn it like an *ordinary* user and just read and post, and it took me
about an hour or two to write a very pretty third party cancel script
in slang.

Try that with your fancy luser newsreader.

Nutscrape takes the host you use for your email.  Which means that
nutscrape is not RFC-compliant, but just another piece of crapware.
