Description Forgotten User ZhJd0F0L3x 2005-10-10 19:40:27 UTC

KNode does not use .newsrc like every other newsclient does. This makes it
really hard to use it in a heterogenous environment: once you read your news
with KNode, you can never change back to anything else like Thunderbird, slrn,
tin, mutt etc. without losing the information about read / unread news.
All those other clients use a .newsrc and are configurable about where they
expect it to be.
This is a real showstopper, preventing me to switch from Thunderbird to KMail /
KNode.

please reopen when this one has been resolved.  
 
BTW - switching to kmail is entirely independent from news ;)

as long as i need thunderbird for news, kmail for mail does not really make much
sense :-)

Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED.

In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
