Hi all:

I'm looking for a shell script that will help me read news.
I'd like it to look at specified news groups, pull articles
that meet some criteria in the subject field, and mail these
articles to me at my account.  I'm figuring I can put something
in my crontab to run this for me in the middle of the night.

Is there something like this that I can ftp or something that
will do this for me?  I don't know much about writing shell
scripts so I was hoping to find one already done.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

ps this won't be resold or redistributed in any way.  I'm using this
personally. :)
