- Don't get me wrong, THOR is great, but I don't want to load ALL articles
- in my subscribed newsgroups, which may contain hundreds of long
- articles. I'm looking for a newsreader which:
-
- * Supports NNTP transfer, and reading while online.
- * Loads the headers only, when I specify which group I want, and lets me
- select which articles I want.
- * Lets me specify how many headers I want (rather than read hundreds),
- or at least has a "stop" gadget.
- * Shows me how long an article is before I read it.
- * Shows threads properly...
-
- I've used GRn 2.1a, and Tin, but neither seems to do what I want.
- Using THOR to retrieve headers etc. seems clumsy for what I'm looking
- for. The Windows world has a great freeware newsreader called
- NewsXPress, surely the Amiga can compete with this??? If not, is there
- anyone out there working on such a newsreader?
-
- Thanks for your suggestions.
