Knews is a threaded newsreader with an X Window interface that uses
NNTP to get news. It displays the threads in a graphical tree.
Full support for reading MIME articles, except message/partial.
Some options that will improve things for people reading over slow lines:
o Background threading of newsgroups
o Doesn't have to read the active file or group descriptions on startup.
o A mechansim for reading the spool directory.
o Kill file support. Articles can be
- marked read (killed), or
- marked with color blobs, based on regular expressions.
o Regular expression searching in articles and the newsgroup list.
o XPAT searching.
o Can use different fonts and colors for quoted text and headers in articles
o Lots of action procedures that can be tied to keys.
o Supports multiple nntp servers.
o Tagging of articles and saving or piping them in order.
o Uudecode function. Not perfect, but handles most cases.
o article text widget is able to display wide-character fonts
o article tree has a 'vertical' layout by popular demand
o experimental: Decoding of 16 bit encoded charsets
o Mailcap file support
o save thread data between sessions
o article prefetch cache and 'trailing' cache.
o Less restrictive locking of the interface,
edit killfile and such while knews is busy.
o Message-id lookup of articles.
