While GMANE is somewhat off-topic, it is a very interesting alternative. I tried slrn but found it too emacsy. Tin feels more like vim and mutt so suits me better; there was just one nasty configuration issue, fortunately solved now: "Posting not allowed" / "Posten nicht erlaubt" http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.tin.user/437 Thanks for pointing to GMANE and the NNTP alternative!
