Pan's pretty nice for a GUI thingy... gnus is my favorite newsreader bar
none...
sorry... maybe its the older versions that i used, but it sucks ass...
crashes all the time. sorry to any developers who are involved - if you
like i can test it and help you with bug reports.
also i prefer a client where i can do email plus news.
} If you prefer terminal stuff, I think slrn is pretty
nice (or maybe tin:
} I swing between the two).
I've not used slrn since about '96-97 or so... tin since around '94. As far
as
really old school stuff goes I probably prefer trn {and some of the variants
thereof} to anything. Slrn is pretty good though. gnus beats everything else
hands down in my opinion.
i'm dyslexic. can't do stuff that aint visual at least in one way.
i learnt linux once i got the visual side of the filesystem tree. i
picture it. but thats why i cant program.
i use things in a bizarre way though so i'm an ideal bug tester.
btw. whats XFMail?
I've not really seen that much on usenet these
days worth bothering with...
maybe the coding groups... Everything else seems to have been spammed to death.
bleh, yep.
i also dont like RSS feeds... much as i'm FOSS i dont like my stuff
being out in the open for all to see when its private debate and discussion.
