I've been using the NNTP patch for mutt by Vsevolod Volkov,
Andrej Gritsenko, and Brandon Long. It can be found at
http://mutt.org.ua/download. I've tried slrn, but was not really happy
with it -- it's not really what I want, and it's so close to mutt+nntp
in style that I'd just rather use mutt itself. I haven't really found a
newsreader I like in years, but if I find the time I'll probably try to
obtain an old copy of trn 3 and to see if I can make it work on a modern
OS. Of all the newsreaders I've used (including trn 4) it sucks the
least.
