   I presume you really mean it's the best of a bad lot. There are many    
   slrn shortcomings and I'd point  you to some threads about that on    
   here, but as slrn doesn't cache headers let alone bodies it's a bit    
   difficult! Let us know when there's a patch to handle utf-8    
   properly too!   
      
   Just as with email clients, there is no perfect news reader. Maybe    
   it's one of the laws of Physics!
