1) I don't use OS/2, :-) and

2) I haven't found any that use the Yarn newsbase.

Basically, I'm not interested in news readers that need to
directly access NNTP servers, I don't like the way they work.

One of the other options I was considering to get a bit
more functionality into Yarn was to write an emacs mode
for it. I've already written an SQL mode for emacs,
so I'm familiar with the code required, and emacs always
used to be my mail and news tool on Unix machines.
