This very true. I swopped over to IREX rather than start having to use 2 pieces 
of software to do the job.
I used WTR with my previous UUCP feed, and it worked very well. When I was 
forced, by the closure of my UUCP feed, to use an SMTP/POP3 and my ISP,s news 
server, which I don't think WTR will do, I went over to using IREX full time. 
As I allready have a mail tosser, Gecho 1.20, it all works 100%
Iam on the beta team, but, to my mind it want's a lot of work so that it will 
do NG,s and SMTP/POP3, without any additional software.
