Re: REQ: Newsreader

I would like to second all of that
i use slrn for all of my nntp needs except the ones with multi part binaries
althow there is a patch for multi part binaries i just havent goten around to it

i have used slrn on nix as well as on win32
and i have never crashed which is far more than i can say for
netscrap outlook or krn

and the ability to use slrnpull to automate the whole thing is very much nice 
for short lived nnpt servers or those with low bandwidth

$ gnus can never be a posibility.  It's emacs - that should say it all
$;-)   I'd really say you should give slrn a try. It isn't sticked to a
$certain editor, you know.

$ Well, it's fixed if you use the plain-text editor, which is _not_ the
$default, for some versions at least.  The missing of the trailing space
$is a lost in the convertion from html back to plain-text when you use
$the html-editor, to my knowledge.

$ I know people that agree to it and still use it...  *shrugs*
$
$ Anyway, I still can only encourage everyone to give slrn a try.
$There's a win32-binary also, you know.  If you need any help (I just can

$a howto for slrn on win32 and got it even quite ready, but then I found
$one linked from the slrn-homepage[1] so I droped that tutorial.
