newsreaders that work well with speakup

[Dave Hunt]

Using gnus, I'd think you'd get a lot of extra speech from emacs with
Speakup.  When running Zipspeak, I had good luck with both pine and tin.
Pine doesn't thread, have a kill file, score articles, or the like, but is
easy to use.  It can handle mail and news with embedded html, binary
content, etc.  Tin does the things you'd expect of a "power" news reader,
and is very fast!  In my Emacspeak days, I used vm and gnus for mail and
news, respectively.

I used to use GNUS (under emacs) to do news - very powerful and all that.
However, I haven't done this lately nor have I ever tried it with speakup.
I'm still quite new to Speakup so need to get a lot more exposure yet.

Hey all. I'm trying to find a usenet newsreader that works well with
speakup. I'm currently using pine for both mail and news, and though it
works, it isn't as full-featured in the news area as I'd like. I've tried
tin, but can't get speakup to track the cursor when I arrow through
thread or article listings. Any suggestions or comments about readers?

Thanks,
Chris, who anxiously awaits the end of this semester
