:

A pseudo newsgroup are EMails which are filtered into the news group
section of Yarn. Pseudo newsgroups just like newsgroups may contain
threads. Folders are like your email INBOX: only sorted by date of
arrival or subject.

Setup of a pseudo newsgroup is a little bit tricky (famous example):

- add a new group with the Yarn utility 'newgroup', let's say
'newgroup list.yarn 9999 9999 yarn-list@lists.colorado.edu'

- open the Yarn 'filter' utility and set up a filter as follows:
- add a new filter (insert key)
- rule name: 'Yarn Mailing List'
- search in: To
- search for: yarn-list
- match-case: no
- action: move to folder list.yarn

>From now on all the stuff from the Yarn mailing list will be put into
a pseudo newsgroup.

That's it.
