Yeah...  Use GNUS under GNU Emacs.  It retrieves all the headers of
unread articles in a newsgroup when you enter it, organizes them into
one-line summaries of article number, number of lines, author and
subject, and puts them in a separate window/buffer, [*Subject*] and
you can jump around as you please to read articles, or you can sort
the subjects by author, posting date, article number or subject.
Also, GNUS never barfs "Skipping unavailable article..." at you like
rn does if it hits expired or cancelled articles...
