I'm just trying to make my interface a little more consistent across the
board.

I did look around a bit and I didn't find anything either.

I only access usenet for one group and there are times I think I should
check out the patch that brings newgroups support to mutt. Not sure if
it's still maintained but then I could get rid of slrn altogether. I
never liked reading on a computer screen in the first place, but I found
that paging by half-screens makes it bearable. Another program I use on
a regular basis is the Elinks web browser, and sadly it doesn't have
this feature either.
