I started with gnus a long time ago, but now I am a dedicated Gnews
user... (sound like a commercial) and I must say that it is the
"fastest" tool you can find to read news (I do not mean fast in term
of code, but in term of how long time you spend to read news
everyday). The index mode is really powerful, especially if you play
with the hook stuff. In index mode, most of the heavy newsgroups such
as comp.sys.mac or or comp.sys.sun are read in a couple of minutes,
and it is fully customizable...

If you want some example of customization, check the Info doc or send
me a mail.

Give it a try... You will be impressed.

PS: I must confess that I have not tried gnus lately... so maybe the
last gnus version are providing some new interesting stuff.
