Usenet by mail

I have no USENET access through a fast connection, and was wondering...
Is there a way to have a whole group mailed to you daily?
I like to download things off of the binary newsgroups and wondered if
they could be mailed to me as they are posted?
I know that you can ftp, whois, telnet, www, all by e-mail.
But I have never seen one for usenet.

I don't think your system administrator would be too happy about that.

Especially if the system on which you're receiving the mail is a low-
bandwidth one like Grex. Binaries postings are huge.
On the other hand, getting newsgroups by mail would be reasonable for
a low-volume group. Seems like there should be a way to do it.

Have a cronjob open the news socket then get all the articles that you
already do not have. Sounds easy enough. (Though I know that i would
have problems doing it! <grin>)

IOs there a way just to get the binaries and not all the other junk?
There has to be some way for me to get usenet. This is driving me nuts.
