console-based newsreader that handles binary attachments (&yenc)

while at work on windows I use tightvnc to connect to the vncserver on my gentoo linux box at home. I'm sticking with the default window manager with the vncviewer(twm) as it uses minimal bandwidth. 

While physically in front of the machine at home I use Pan to check newsgroups. However, I'd like the option of a console based reader so I can tag binary downloads from work. But the thing is, I dont want to have to tag all 43 pieces of filename.r00, I'd like to see only one entry for complete files (as I see it now with Pan). I tend to check out a couple rather large newsgroups and it takes me a while already even though i see one entry for a file with many pieces. It is not feasible to browse through viewing the entire newsgroup contents.

I tried slrn and tin, but either they do not support what i want, or i cannot find the appropriate display options. 

If possible, I'd also like for it to support yenc attachments. I installed the 'net-news/yencode' package, is that all i need? I'm not sure because Pan is able to handle it without any additional packages.

If anyone could point me in the right direction, i'd greatly appreciate it.
