Reading Mode

In reading mode the selected articles are displayed one at a time. Each article is marked read after you have read it. You will enter the next newsgroup after reading the last selected article (or the current newsgroup if you used the Z command).

The following are some of the commands that are available in reading mode:

SPC
Scroll one page forward. If you are on the final page of an article, then scroll to the next article.

BS
C-h
Scroll one page backward.

d
Scroll one half page forward.

u
Scroll one half page backward.

^
Move to the first page of the article.

$
Move to the last page of the article.

/regexp
Search forward for text matching the pattern regexp. For example, use /foo to search the for the string `foo' in the current article.

D
Turn rot13 decryption on or off for the current article.

n
Move to the next selected article. Current article is marked as read.

l
Leave a selected article and go to the next article. This is useful if you want to respond to an article, but you would first like to see if any of the existing responses say what you are planning to say.

=
Return to selection mode. Articles read will be marked read.

k
Kill current subject. Skips rest of article and all articles with the same subject heading. Skipped articles are marked read.

K
Similar to k, but kills the subject permanently (more on this later).

*
Selects all articles with same subject as current article. Can be used to select a base note, read it, and then select the responses only if you find the base note interesting.

N
Skip the rest of the selected and unread articles and go to the next newsgroup.

X
Mark all articles in current group as read and go to the next newsgroup.

There are three commands for saving articles. These can be invoked from either reading mode or selection mode:

S
Save article including full article header.
O
Save article with a short header.
W
Save article without a header.

When using one of these three commands, nn will give you a default file name. You can kill this and enter your own. You can also associate a file name with a particular newsgroup via your `.nn/init' file (this file will be discussed later).
