As an aside: for advanced multiple-server support, you might want to consider using leafnode as a local server. Among GUI newsreaders, Pan seems to me to have a little more functionality than KNode. Sylpheed[-Claws] is a possibility, but I haven't tried either version of it for a long time. Thunderbird is, so far, no where near as good for news as for email. The only other option I can think of among Debian packages is KNews, which I know almost nothing about. On the whole, I suggest trying Pan first. IIRC, it was intended to resemble Gravity in look and feel. And it's almost half as good as Slrn. ;-) -- PJR :-)
