Tried nn? Its threading is a bit odd but it works wonderfully and it's very
fast. I've endlessly patched mine to restrict the groups the newsreader
asks about to certain hierarchies, for AUTHINFO-style NNTP authentication,
and a few other things. nn-7 will support "proper" threading but I kinda
like the threading the way it is.
Is it available on OpenVMS? If so I might have to give it a try, although
I've tried it on UNIX and didn't like it.
