 Hi,
    The newsreader Tin 1.3 is available for VMS. It works with Multinet, UCX
and NETLIB V2.0, I've only tried it on OpenVMS VAX (we don't have an Alpha
running OpenVMS). It is still in beta, but seems reasonably stable.

    It is available from ftp.scn.de:/pub/news/tin/tin-beta.tar.gz


From the README.

This is version 1.3 PL0 (patchlevel 0) of the tin newsreader.

o  Compiles & runs on Unix, AmigaDOS, Windows/NT, VMS & OS/2 (Unfinished)
o  Based more on Notes and tass than rn type newreaders.
o  Full screen, easy to use with on-line help at all levels.
o  Reads news locally (ie. /usr/spool/news) and/or via NNTP/INN.
o  Supports the NOV/Xover news overview index file standard.
o  Threads on Subject: and/or Archive-name: mail headers.
o  Four different operating levels:
   -  Group selection level
   -  Thread selection level
   -  Article selection level
   -  Article viewer
o  Same interface to mail, pipe, print and save articles.
o  Auto unpacking of multi-part shar & uuencoded articles.
o  Killing and auto-selection (hot) of articles.
o  PGP support for news and mail messages.
o  History of user posted articles.
o  Reposting of articles from one newsgroup to another.
o  Batch mode to mail/save new news when user is on holiday.
o  Random signature generator on a per newsgroup basis.
o  Builtin NNTP mini-inews (ie. 1 binary does everything).
o  NNTP 1.5.11 extensions XMOTD & XUSER to allow better admin.
