Notes on Netscape's News: While lacking many of the advanced features that you'll find in a dedicated newsreader, Netscape's internal newsreader remains competitive in this area, even beating the others at their own game when it comes to ease of use. You won't find kill files, offline/online newsreading, thread watching/ignoring, binary decoding, or even advanced article sorting. What you will find is a graphically appealing multithreading client that makes reading the news your easiest task of the day. News on Netscape loads quick, reads quick, and 'catches up' quick. For the routine daily task of monitoring several Newsgroups (non-binary newsgroups), Netscape's News may well be the most efficient Newsreader available. - Forrest Stroud Reviewer

My next favorite newsreader, next to tin (which comes with unix). I find it interesting that the early versions of Netscape are more efficient at reading news than more recent releases.
