But NNTP servers expire articles too quickly.
(Also, I just mutated metamail to handle x-html, like this:
in mailcap:
text/x-html; /usr/bin/X11/xterm -fn "*lucidatypewriter*medium*-14-*" -e /usr/local/bin/dowwwfile %s
in /usr/local/bin/dowwwfile:
#!/bin/sh
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
export PATH
cp $1 $1.html
WWW_HOME="file:$1.html"
export WWW_HOME
/usr/local/bin/www
It's a hack, but it's functional...)
