Description
Slrn is a threaded news reader with color support that is designed to read news fast over slow links.

Slrn can read usenet news via NNTP or directly from a local news spool.

Slrn can be heavily customized from its rc file, and even includes a built in macro language. There is also support for killfiles and article scoring.
