Subject following might break, I don't add Xref headers (because they're the
Wrong Thing, ID to message location mapping should be done through the history
file).

But no fear. About all of what's interesting in rn is supported in 3.0 vnews
anyhow -- keyboard macros, %-escapes, kill-files (though the latter aren't
well-tested yet) and subject-list browse mode. And instead of hopping you
between screen-oriented, more-like and cooked display modes everything is
shown through a uniform screen-oriented interface.
