NN Newsreader is a text-based client for reading USENET news, allowing users to access and browse newsgroups with ease. Its minimalist interface provides a streamlined experience for those who prefer a command-line approach.
Are you tired of spending endless hours scrolling through news articles? Look no further than the nn Newsreader project, a USENET news reader that streamlines the news-reading process. With the motto "No News is good news, but nn is better," this software is designed to minimize the amount of time you spend reading news and allow you to follow even more newsgroups.
One of the key features of nn is its menu-based article selection system, which sorts articles by subject and posting time. This means that you can quickly select articles of interest and skip the rest, reducing the time spent on news reading. Additionally, nn supports efficient article killing and selection by author and subject. You can easily leave individual articles unread and digest articles are automatically split and presented as ordinary articles, allowing you to save and respond to individual sub-articles.
Other features of nn include full folder support (read, save, and delete individual articles), online help and manual, built-in unshar and patch functions, and built-in uudecode function that unpacks, concatenates, and decodes multi-part postings. With easy remapping of keys and advanced macro definition features, nn is a flexible and customizable software.
Users can take advantage of automatic kill & selection of articles based on subject or author, specify the presentation sequence of news groups based on the news group hierarchy, and easily unsubscribe from whole classes of news groups (e.g. talk.all and all.politics). Additionally, related groups can be merged and presented as a single group (e.g. comp.emacs and all gnu.emacs groups).
Recent updates to nn include displaying name length based on screen width, case-insensitive header check macro for both news and folders, GPG support with a new run-time variable 'sign-type', and a compile-time variable SIGN_TYPE to set the default to either PGP or GPG. nn will also look in /etc/resolv.conf for a domain if DOMAIN isn't defined and hostname isn't a FQDN.
Overall, nn Newsreader is an efficient and flexible software that makes the news-reading process a breeze. Its menu-based article selection system, article killing capabilities, and customizable features make it stand out among other news readers.
