slrn does have that option as well... just needs turned on (its off by default) in the config file. I seem to recall it not working so hot... but I tried it on a link in a post last night and it worked like a peach. For whatever reason I never really tried tin (or trn). I might have to give them a whirl... though I must say that using slrn seems kind of like riding a bicycle... my fingers apparently remember more than my brain does ;) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
