Quite frankly, I have found no "perfect" newsreader, however I have fallen
in love with Anthony Discolo's yarn (yet another...).  The closest thing
available is vn.  Both yarn and vn display *many* news article headers
at the same time, which allows you to avoid typing 'n' for 1000 postings.

I'm planning on combining some of the features of yarn (split-screen
where it will display the first 8 lines of the body of a posting, and
the reading of groups one at a time (a *big* loss of vn is that it scans
and reads every message header in every group at once.  This is bogus
behavior)).
