What did you do? I'm stuck. Would you consider NewsGrazer, the nntp-compatible USENET newsreader which was written for the NeXT? It's slower than GNUS but much more feature-rich and is very NeXTy. *Yes, it is slow indeed, but it most certainly is not more feature rich than GNUS. Any standalone would by necessity have to be less feature rich than a programm like GNUS which is basically 300 kBytes of high-level language frills (as the basic things like NNTP and user interface are to a large part taken care of in other parts of emacs). Add to this the trivial extensibility of GNUS in emacs lisp, and no standalone news reader can possibly keep up. Newsgrazer itself is nice enough and really much more NeXTy than GNUS. Now if just stopped going into an endless loop when one selected Listing type display of newsgroups.
