Having the replies associated with their parent articles not +only makes following the discussion easier, but also makes it easy to back- +track and (re-)read a specific discussion from the beginning. Trn also +has a visual representation of the current thread in the upper right corner +of the header, which will give you a feel for how the discussion is going +and how the current article is related to the last one you read. + +In addition, a thread selector makes it easy to browse through a large +group looking for interesting articles. You can even browse through the +articles you've already read and select the one(s) you wish to read again. +Other nice features include the extract commands for the source and binary +groups, thread-oriented kill directives, a better newgroup finding strategy, +and lots more. + +Trn includes a program named "rn", which is backwards-compatible and +starts up trn in "non-threaded" mode. |
