I personally prefer pine but the only problem with it currently for me 
is that I cna't figure out how to authenticate to a news server if it's 
needed.  And right now with Earthlink it's needed.  After I get 
speakeasy installed I will not need to authenticate to speakeasy.net 
news servers so I can wait.  If there is a way to be able to 
authenticate to a news server using pine I would much appreciate knowing 
how to do this.

In short I would stick with pine.

Hi guys. Am looking for suggestions on which reader to use to read news 
groups?
I know of a few, pine, tin, trn and I think there are a few others out 
there as well.
Which ones work best for those out there who surf the groups?
Heh.

Tommy

I think you can so something like
news.somewhere.com/nntp/user=username
and pine will send the username and prompt for the password.
I haven't used pine for news in quite a while. I like slrn.

I like tin and one thing that makes tin even nicer is the .newsauth file 
facility it offers.  If you read man 5 tin and search for .newsauth in the 
man page you'll find out why.  If you do well with emacs and know gnus 
though that would be a better way to go for news at least.  I'm trying to 
remember if it was gnus that was the emacs mail reader that wouldn't point 
at the correct mailbox location or if that was another emacs mail reader. 
I remember I couldn't figure out what to set where to get it correctly 
pointed either.

Hello:

I prefer rn.  It is simple and has no menus to wade through.

Hi, Well, Pine works not to bad, and the News Reader that is in Emacs works
pretty good too.

Seems like one of the latest and greatest for classic style usenet news 
reading may be something called slrn. Not only is this threaded rn, (like 
trn), but the selections can be scored.
