That's the same method I use, FWIW... :-)

Not really, unless you lose access to uqwk on your provider.
Souper does essentially the same thing that uqwk does -- it connects to
the newsserver via the nntp protocol, and to the mail server via the pop3
protocol, it grabs the current news/mail, and it converts the gathered
material into a SOUP packet for Yarn to play with.
It also handles the reverse (processes reply packets and tosses the new
mailings/postings to the apppropriate servers).
