   slrn on both  (though at the moment, at home, I'm using Agent on

   Win95.) For Linux, you should be able to find slrn on your install
   CDs.  If you can't find it for Windows, let me know and I'll try to
   track it down for you.

   both agent and slrn do, but slrn does a better job.  slrn also
   automatically skips crossposts if you've already seen them in
   another group, and it can use the references header to re-retrieve
   the previous article in the thread from the news server if you
   don't understand the followup you're reading.
