Tough luck. Slrn is certainly NOT any ancient crap, even thought some
(stupid) people tend to think that about every text based application.

When someone starts to develop a news reader, it's not possible to avoid
drawing a "line" between beginner-friendly and harder, but more powerful UI.
You just can't have 'em both. I guess slrn is aimed towards the latter. 
What I'm trying to say is that even if it is harder to learn than some 
simpler program, it pays off after you have learned it, because that
hard-to-learn interface is thousand times more powerful than one that might
have been easier to learn.
