Oh heck I took the bait

Unfortunately yes, although I'm told Forte Agent is quite good!

NewsBin Pro is not really a newsreader. It is a binary attachment downloader. Its real purpose is to scan the binary newsgroups to download binary files attached to the posts, like music, movies, and images. Its purpose is to automate the downloads of the attachments rather than you manually scanning the newsgroups for posts with binary attachments. It also has lots of filters for those attachments so you can just the ones you want; i.e., if you only want .mp3 (music?) files than you can block all the other filetypes (by just allowing .mp3). It has both a whitelist and blacklist of filetypes. You can use regular expressions to determine what filetypes you download or block. If you don't want any HTML attachments, use "\.htm?l$" which looks for .htm or ..html at the end of the filename (the "?" wildcard means to look for 0 or 1 occurences of the prior character). I'm sure it has lots of other automating features for yanking binaries out of newsgroups but it's been maybe 3 years since I looked at it.
Free Agent is okay but is too much a crippled version of Agent. It is crippled so much that I went back to OE.
XNews was abandoned and then taken up by some other author but when I last reviewed it the product was really unsupported and not getting updated nor improved.
Newsrover is something like NewsBin in trying to find binary attachments to posts in newsgroups. I think it also tried to include e-mail functions but they were abysmal when compared to OE (and even worse when compared to Outlook). It's been even longer since I bothered to use Newsrover.
Never heard of Thoth and Hogwasher. Oh, I see why per their descriptions: they are for the Mac platform. Hmm, this is a newsgroup for *Windows* XP, right?
So, Mz. Tick, why is it you claim that OE is the best newsreader yet you post using Mozilla? Why such a limited list of alternate usenet client? I'm sure a bit more research would've revealed many more. You didn't even list Thunderbird (because maybe that's what you used rather than the OE you extol). I use OE, too, but I definitely don't claim it is best, only that it is good enough as a freebie. OE needs far better rules, option to bottompost, and more. I had tried Thunderbird a long time ago, didn't find it much different, so went back to OE. Maybe Thunderbird has a better rule set now, blocking of linked images regarding of security zone used, nullifying script tags, and such. Of course, WinXP SP-2 includes some changes for OE, too.

It's a simple matter of taste. Agent, Free Agent, and XNews are
all particularly well-regarded, and offer more flexibility and
different capacities than OE. But, if you're happy with OE, there's
no reason to change.
