	I used to use slrn for news, as it seemed to have the most 
features back when I had a newsfeed...back in 02.  Havent looked at 
either tin or slrn since losing my sight, so couldn't make a 
recommendation, but I second the mutt recommendation.  Love it I keep 
learning new things about it all the time, and it works fantastically 
with SpeakUP.  Once you get rid of the on-screen menubars, mutt is a 
pretty quiet, massively functional email client.
