Netnews@stanford is good for reading Usenet by mail.
To post to rgb you need the UTexas mail-to-news gateway send mail to
"rec-games-backgammon@cs.utexas.edu and this will post to r.g.b.

This is a test post. If this appears in r.g.b., I have found a working
gateway for posting news via email. See my backgammon page at
http://www.msen.com/~lwp/bg.html for links which allow people to
read r.g.b. without a news server and to post to r.g.b. via this
gateway.
