Knews is almost on-par with tin as far as usability goes. It's better than
tin when you have access to more than 1 news server (it keeps multiple
.newsrc-<hostname> files). I think with a little app-defaults tuning I can
get something better than tin. It's certainly a very slick X news reader.
It's also a lot faster than tin, and doesn't have the problem of reading
the article twice when you uudecode an article.

Cheers.
