Tom> Use trn.
GNUS (see newsgroup gnu.emacs.gnus) might help here too. From the manual:
If the number of articles being selected is larger than the variable
`gnus-large-newsgroup', the number of articles actually selected is
asked for. If the given value N is positive, the last N articles will
be selected. If N is negative, the first N articles will be selected.
An empty string means to select all articles.

On a different topic,
it would be neat if someone could compare all the new newsreaders.
