Personally, I use SLRN, I like the way it does stuff, but I have also used Pine on this system, especially now that it supports threading, I would never countenance using a reader that doesn't have this facility. The main advantage that SLRN has over Pine though is its kill file, very nice indeed, though I suppose you can get around this if you use leafnode and the filtering rules it contains. > As much as I don't like Windowws, Outlook Express has a nice news reading > facility. But I'd much prefer to use something in linux. Errrrrrrm?!? Outlook Express news reading, nice? Oh well, each to his own, I suppose.
