Mail is Mail and News is News.  They're different (yet share certain
attributes in common).

If I did not have to put up with more spam, I would much prefer to read
public list mail via Usenet news servers.  Of course that is due in part
to our particular news and POP mail server configs, as well as my clients.

Before the int'l spam conspiracy, reading LISTSERV distribution lists via
the BIT.LISTSERV.listname hierarchy was my preferred Modus Operandi.
