I had slack on my comp a few months ago but needed some windows apps
for school and had to take it off. Now to try again. I am familiar
with Pan although I find it a little less refined than agent. I would
guess some of you use agent under wine. Please let me know. Thanks.

tin, which I personally prefer over slrn, but both are excellent text
mode newsreaders. tin can understand the mouse as well for selecting
things to read etc.

Even though your question is offtopic for this newsgroup, it's already
been discussed many times here. Search Google groups for the archives
of these discussions (and in the future search there first before
posting).

If you use Xemacs or Emacs, you should at least consider Gnus!

Slrn and tin are good too.

Installing slrn configured with slrnpull support, it is possible to
to read (off-line) from slrnpull news spool directory using slrn, tin
or gnus. Tried the three of them and found tin to be the most
convenient for me. I haven't used Agent under Wine.

If you were using pan you would not have had to ask such a question. You
use X-Newsreader: Forte Agent 1.91/32.564.

If that newsreader cannot even let you know what everyone else is using
then just how good is it?

I use Agent under WINE, by default it doesn't show you the headers.
Guess the OP didn't think to look at that option.
