If you have MacTCP, and you haven't already done so, check out Apple's 
netnews HyperCard stack.  It lets you read and post news from your Mac 
using NNTP.  It's much nicer than either rn or notes, and it's 
surprisingly fast for a HyperCard stack. The author, Harry Chesley, did a 
really nice job. You can get a copy from APDA by ordering the "HyperCard 
MacTCP Toolkit v. 1.0", M0228LL/A, $20.

I'm not associated with Apple, and I don't know Mr. Chesley - I'm just a 
very satisfied user.

I just figured out how to tell my UNIX box that my Mac should be permitted 
to post, and this is my first attempt to use the stack to post a note.  
I've been using it to read notes for several weeks.
