My reader actually works similarly to Synchronet's internal reader as far as
opening with a message and allowing forward & back navigation, etc. - But it
does allow displaying the message list and jumping around to different
messages.  Also it provides the ability to scroll up & down in a message (only
for ANSI users; it does fall back to a traditional interface for non-ANSI
users).  My reader is based on an earlier script I wrote which always started
up with the message list rather than starting in a message.
