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... Deven -- Deven T.
