*WHY!?* Anyone familiar with mutt would know that it was modeled after
a newsreader, SLRN! So why contribute to bloat by having those two
functions in the same program, especially mutt, when one can have mutt and
slrn with similar key mappings, similar colors, etc, etc, etc...
In short, any patch to mut to mangle it to read news will fall severely
short of slrn or any other dedicated news reader.
