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.

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.

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

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