I have used Okami a for news/mail reader along with suck-3.9.1 (to 
retrieve and send news) and one of the pop clients and smail for mail. 
It worked great. You could also use Gary Priests' POPwatch and NEWSwatch.

I'm also writing my own client for retrieving and sending news/mail
using Okami for the reader. It's being written in HiSoft Basic and I
have it working with STinG. There's a few bugs to iron and a few
features I'd like to add, and since HBasic has a small MiNT library I
could also write it to run in the MiNT domain.

I have quit using MiNT until I get a TT or Falcon, I just have too much 
of a memory fragmentation on my MSTE, but I could install a small setup 
for testing.

Also, does any know if the MintNet library has been converted to 
assembly? I'd like to try to make a library for HiSoft Basic if it has.
