Pardon the delay in responding!
Hehe no problem, my own reply came nearly one month after your previous one.
Yes, sylpheed claws works fine, but I prefer, so far, to use pan for
nntp
(like this list/group).
I see. Is that because you were used to pan before trying Sylpheed-Claws?
Otherwise, would you detail a bit more your comparison of both products with
regards to NNTP features? Do you use Sylpheed-Claws of email like POP or IMAP?
