Lines: 21 From: uh@zti1.UUCP If you want to let readnews read from a file instead of a pipe, set the environment variable PAGER to "more %", e.g. PAGER="/usr/ucb/more %"; export PAGER Well, it works, *but*... then it doesn't skip the headers. I think maybe the right solution is to fix more; have it create a temp file when reading from a pipe. - Chris P.S. Another gripe: I can't ``~m'' inside a reply. I have to remember the name of the article and :r it in. Yes, I've heard of the strange UCBMail interface, but we can't find the right place for it; we have a different version of the Mail source. I think I'll switch to Emacs Rnews. -- UUCP: {seismo,allegra,brl-bmd}!umcp-cs!chris CSNet: chris@umcp-cs ARPA: chris.umcp-cs@UDel-Relay
