Description: Scanning threaded USENET news reader, based on trn and rn
The *rn family of newsreaders are the most widely-used on USENET --
even to the point of being a de-facto standard. They have a powerful
full screen text mode user interface, where most actions are available
at the press of a single key, and are highly configurable.
.
This is a temporary package of the latest of the line, strn. There is
a version of trn in beta test which subsumes strn's features, so this
package will disappear when that version of trn is packaged.
.
This version of strn reads news from a news server via NNTP (the Network
News Transfer Protocol). You must have a news server available -
large sites usually provide a site-wide server.
.
If you install a news server on your system (either containing just
local newsgroups or with a partial or full USENET feed) you can configure
strn to access it.
.
This version of strn is MIME-enabled, but to have strn extract and
process the body of a MIME message appropriately, you'll need the mh
package installed. If you don't, strn will only be able to display
MIME articles as plain ASCII text.
