[MLB-WIRELESS] Newsgroup

[Mitch Denny]

James,

Has all the same problems as newsgroups except the
added negative trait that you MUST be online to
send messages (no queuing in Outbox).

Bridging NNTP, SMTP and HTTP systems are quite
effective, but if you can't do that then then
SMTP needs to be the fallback I think. Ofcourse
this is all just my opinion, its a personal
preference thing.
