I use the vvv-NNTP patch a lot, and I love having NNTP in mutt. Yet
some of it is hackety-hack IMO, and needs to be fixed before being
perceived as a releasable feature.
Actually, I should get in touch with the author of the patch and
complain with him. ;-)
I've heard of mutt-ng for the first time now, but I do approve of their
approach, in those terms that it would save _myself_ integrating a lot
of conflicting patches every time... But if that branch is indeed also
dead^Wquiet, what's the point? All those lovely patches out there, and
nobody willing to maintain or properly integrate them. :-(
