I strongly recommend `trn'.  It does much better threading than most
other news readers.

You can get it from:

alpha.gnu.ai.mit.edu:/386bsd/README
			     trn-2.5.tar.z
			     inn-1.3.tar.z

(I compiled trn using the INN library; you probably don't need the
latter if you want to just use my executables.)
