[Req] better support for news messages

NewsPro is very spartan with support for read newsmessages. It would be nice to have next/prev (thread) message buttons for ex. Now you have to open every message individually.

There are no buttons but there are shortcuts:

Ctrl+F5/F6 Next/Previous thread or header without replies with preserving the focus

use the split window (alt+space, also windows menu - split for a new window) to not to open every message in a separate window.

These are all shortcuts not shown in menus related to this view (from the help file).
