HyperNews was not originally intended as a news reader
so much as an archive. No matter how much we add in the
way of being a better news reader, there will always be
more that is required to meet the different needs of different
readers, such as sorting by date, 'kill file' filtering, etc.
I think we will get to these features eventually, but until
then, the email notification feature was intended as the
one feature that subsumes all the rest. Subscribe to
the page you are interested in following and you will get
just the new postings in your mail box in the order they
were added. What's missing, of course, is that the context
of those postings is lost. Turning HyperNews into a
personalized mail system is where we are headed in the
long run.
The latest version of HyperNews lets you send email to
HyperNews as well. It's disabled by default because
it is still experimental.
