NewsReader

[William Klivans]

Instead of using Outlook Express, does anyone know of a good newsreader that
is good and free?

Thanks

Hi William,

Mozilla Thunderbird handles newsgroups well:

You don't have to use it for email, although it works well for that too.

Every newsreader has a different set of features and differing
strengths and weaknesses. So what's best for me, or anyone else here,
isn't necessarily what's best for you. As a single example of what I
mean, some are good for binary newsgroups and others are terrible for
that; since I don't do binary newsgroups, I don't care about that
feature, but *you* might.

My recommendation is to avoid anyone's recommendation, especially of
you are only interested in free newsreaders. Since you don't have to
pay for them, try *all* the free newsreaders, and decide for yourself
which one *you* like best.

But if, despite what I say, you really want other people's opinions,
it would be to do explain why you want something other than Outlook
Express. What do you not like about Outlook Express, or what features
are you looking for that Outlook Express doesn't have?

Forte Agent-Best on the market, in my opinion. I've been using it for
14 years.

I also like Agent, but bear two things in mind:

1. What's best for you and me isn't necessarily what's best for him.

2. He asked for a *free* newsreader.

I have used MicroPlanet Gravity 2.71 on Win98 and now on XP-h.
It has worked very well without any problems. I suggest you try it.

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=95245

It worked on everything Windows, server, vista, x64, x32....

"helmsman" is still using the FreeAgent... which has been unavailable
for quite some time.
