I agree on this one.

Don't like this one.  If you want to read old messages, then use
NEW instead.  If I'm using RN, I only want to read the new
messages, and skip those newsgroups that don't have them.  Maybe
NEW needs to be more like RN.

Don't get this one.

I think the would be better suited to NEW not RN.

I'd like to see the W command ask for a file name instead of
just writing to a file named message.  At the local console this
can be a problem when you think you've hit enough :s.....
