A news reading terminal application
I've been meaning to write this blog entry about slrn ever since I started using it some time last year. Finally here it is. Some things I found interesting:
- It's great for those that enjoy terminal applications as I do (e.g. mutt, w3m, etc.)
- It allows you to bind keys to actions.
- There is a default config file that can be copied to
~/.slrnrc
and customized.
Configuration parameters I used
set confirm_actions 14
set netiquette_warnings 0
set query_read_group_cutoff 0
set uncollapse_threads 1
visible_headers "From:,Subject:,Newsgroups:,Followup-To:,Reply-To:,Date:"
See https://slrn.info/documentation.html for more information.
Enjoy!
