It is a patched version of rn (with about 160k of new code, and 60k of patches) that maintains a database of reference tree information (threads of discussion) and uses this information to help the user select discussions and read them in an understandable order. The next version of GNUS, a GNU Emacs news reader, will also provide thread-based reading feature. Conversation threads are displayed in tree structured form, and there are commands for moving around thread trees and hiding/showing trees. The following is an example of displayed thread trees.
