  TMail handles as much news as you want to jam into a single
  mailbox, organized or not;  if it's all one newsgroup, then TMail
  skips the newsgroup menu and dives straight to the subject menu.
  If there are multiple newsgroups then TMail shows a newsgroup
  menu that lets you descend to the subject menu for each newsgroup,
  or you can [delete|archive|undelete] the whole newsgroup.

  So, if the transport software loads one huge file (as I set mine
  up to do under UUPC) then well and good.  If there are multiple
  mailboxes for various newsgroups, then you can either catenate
  them (getting beck to the one-big-file) or read them separately;
  TMail is not limited (except slightly by memory) in how many
  files it can have open at once.  If the articles are all thrown
  into separate files (a HUGE waste of storage) then you probably
  should catenate them.

  And I should note that I uploaded version 1.16 early this week,
  so the announcement should be coming around (fairly) soon.  Any
  other archive sites that want TMail can either arrange mail
  uploads or copy from SIMTEL; I don't have ftp.
