Yeah, okay, its CLI, but its simple, compact and fast. And, it does exactly what I tell it to do. :-)

Mozilla Thunderbird, whatever that is. Though it seems to do everything I want with usenet. Just started using it after a LONG hiatus.
Very long. Good to see r.m.s hasn't changed much. I hope that doesn't sound insulting ;-)
Cheers Michael

I've been using Forte's Agent/Free Agent for freakin' forever. It is one of the few shareware programs that I actually spent money on. I'm convinced it is the best newsreader for:
-subscribing and tracking multiple groups,
-Navigating through congested and high noise-to-signal ratio groups.
-Offline operation; you can set to retrieve new threads/msgs and read them off-line later.
The Free Agent version is free, but you won't have kill/watch filters or the email client. I used Free Agent for five years before paying and upgrading to the full Agent- and it is worth every cent. Yes, it does have a steeper learning curve, but I don't see it as clunky- even w/retrieving binaries.
that mesnews is really damn good. give it a peek.
That's not right- my Win95 PC has both N4.7 and N3 on it and it still works OK. I liked the Netscape 3 news reader as well - far superior to the version 4 - stopped using Netscape with the disaster that was version
6Use Agent now, primarily for it's Offline reader ability (though not so relevant with ADSL)

How is version 7? I used to love Netscape, but was put off by the disaster that was version 6.
