Use 'P' to go back 1 article; type an article number; use ?pattern?r[a|s]
to search backward for a specific pattern in a read article (or just in
the subject line of a read article); etc.

It's all in the manual, but I don't blame anyone for not reading it
cover-to-cover.  It took me a while to get the hang of rn, but I really
appreciate the flexibility and power it gives you.
