Here's a few things I'd like to see in news readers: #1. Reverse reading. Change the semantics of "p" and "n" in rn. (i.e., space = p or ^P, hitting p junks the current article, hitting n does not) #2. In real high volume groups, I've taken to giving the command /re:/j which kills all followups (50-90% (NOT kidding)); I then read the articles and if I see something interesting, I enable that subject again (via /m). But, what that I want to read has an article come in the next day? I didn't see it when I did the subject search, so it was lost. What I'd like to see is an automated "Kill everything beginning with a re: UNLESS it fits on of these subjects which I want to read".
