Subject: Threaded News Reading?

Hi,

We recently got switched to Pine 3.94 and I wish to use Pine to read
news as well instead of running Trn.  I have gone thru the FAQ and other
docs trying to find if it is possible to set Pine for threaded news
reading, but nothing have turned up.  So is it possible?

Tx,
Raphael

    True, but some of us want to read news and mail with an easy to 
use and easy to learn tool such as Pine, not spend half our lives
struggling with the tool itself.  I, for one, have better things to 
do with my life than struggle with monster learning curves.  That's
why I have stuck with Pine.  Not everybody needs to go to the grocery
store in an 18-wheel semi; sometimes a bicycle will do just fine.
