I'm a >dedicated GNUS user, myself... 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.
