If you want to be able to backup in an article, you should
set your PAGER variable to "more '+/^$' %". Then readnews doesnt
pipe the article through more, but just gives it as an argument.
This also has the advantage that the (27%) feature of more works,
and that more starts up much faster.
 Also, you can skip back to the header if you want to see it.
The only disadvantage is that more also gives you the last two
header lines and the blank line, plus a line saying "Skipping..."
but I think the advantages are worth it.
