The interface works the way I want, it's almost infinitely configurable, and it has the thread tree. It's the only one with the thread tree, of course, and I've found that I absolutely hate using any newsreader without the thread tree. I've tried slrn several times over the years, and I just can't do it. The interface is nice, for what it is, but it's very restrictive in terms of configuration, and it doesn't have the thread tree. It doesn't work quite the same way as trn, which to me is the One True Way, and it keeps wanting you to do things the way it wants you to, and it lacks the thread tree. Oh, and there's no thread tree, in case I didn't mention that. The problem with trn is that the code is so antiquated and ugly that it's not easy to hack things into. It's missing a lot of stuff I'd like to have, but then I go look at the code, and give up hope of easily adding them in. Better MIME support would be great, with an emphasis on character set translation. But the thought of trying to add UTF-8 support to that vintage-'80s code is not pleasant. -Jeremy ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com
