Also, unlike when using a mail client, with usenet you don't have to download the message/thread if you're not interested in reading it. Back to the OP's topic, I am also using Knode (but not for this M/L). If you set your USE flags right you should be able to continue using Kmail/Knode without some of the dependencies that the full KDE4 desktop requires. However, I don't know if from KDE4.4 changes on dependencies (as per recent thread on semantic-desktop) mean that more of these will be pulled in. --=20 Regards, Mick
