Actually that'd be a piece of cake to script. I've got various PHP
classes and functions stashed away that would do all of that and then
some. The real trouble is the resources involved. Where would you be
popping the mail from? Ever DML user would have a (free, mind you)
pop account somewhere where all of the messages would be stored?
What'd be easier is a web-based interface to the newsgroup, so that
there is only one copy of the messages (a copy that already exists, in
fact).
Still, the only way I can see that being particularly useful is for
people who are out of town or otherwise away from their regular
computers to read and post.
