This software is a Usenet client that can handle both NNTP and a news spool in the local file system.
One standout feature of slrn is its scoring rules capability. This function allows users to highlight, sort, or even kill articles based on information from the header. And if you like to customize your software experience, slrn won't disappoint. It's highly customizable, enabling users to create free key-bindings and use the S-Lang macro language to extend its functionality.
In addition, slrn includes offline reading functionality through either slrnpull (which comes with slrn) or a local newsserver like leafnode or INN. Plus, for Mac users, slrn can be built using the Fink package manager with the command "fink install slrn."
Overall, slrn is a reliable and customizable newsreader that can enhance your Usenet experience.
