Reading news with GNUS from within emacs has been my preference for
quite a while - NewsGrazer is cute, and if you mostly wanted to read
rtf or other NeXT-focused material, it might even be important, but
without threads or the ability to deal sensibly with cross-postings,
it's pretty minimal. For sheer organizing power, customizability and
featurefulness GNUS is pretty hard to beat. And if you're willing to
consider reading your news on a Sun, it sounds to me like GNUS will do
all you want and more. Even with the remarkably retrograde emacs NeXT
ships with 3.0.

You could also build trn (at least you could in 2.x), but it eats up a
lot of disk space with the threads db.
