Sharing a .newsrc file

  1. Default Sharing a .newsrc file

    Pine and Thunderbird use a standard .newrc file. I was trying to think of
    a way to have them share a .newsrc. Sometimes I use Pine, sometimes I use
    Thunderbird. It all just depends.

    I know, this is probably very obvious, but I didn't even think about it.
    Both Thunderbird and Pine allow you to point to any .pinerc file and not
    just your standard one. I repointed Thunderbird and it works great. Once
    a message is marked read in one reader, it's now marked read in the other.
