    IMHO NewsPro is the best one, but it isn't very intuitive so ppl usualy don't
    like it.

    Agent is good for text groups, like this one.

    Free Agent is free, doesn't have all the features of Agent, but
    close.

    NewsRover and NewsBin are good for binary groups,

    Check <news.software.readers>
    'Xnews' <http://xnews.newsguy.com/> and 'Dialog' get the
    most attention.

  5. I use Netscape 7.1, like it fine.

    I no longer use the Netscape browser that much anymore--mostly use
    Safari for that, or FireFox when I'm using my Wintel box...

    I'm partial to WinVn. It gives you three windows that you can position
    any where you want. Other news readers limit you to positioning the
    sub-windows within the main window.

    I used to use WinVn and quite liked it, but when purchase of a new
    system forced an upgrade from Windows 95 to Windows XP, I found WinVN
    didn't work under XP. Is there now a version that supports XP?

    On what platform? It's not hard to do better than what you'r eusing,
    and it's also not hard to do worse.

    tin, a console newsreader. Then my ideas of a nice news reader
    might be very different from yours, the same goes for anyone else
    answering. One reason why there are so many...

    Depends on your needs and preferences. Looks quite useable, doesn't
    screw up things, follows the standards. What do you miss?

    news.software.readers might be a more appropriate group.

    I use Gravity, no longer supported but an excellent bit of software. I
    tried all the free ones and Gravity done it for me.

    I'll second that -- no new versions, but it works fine on all the flavors
    of Windows I've tried it with.

    Back when I had a shell account with good news service, I preferred nn,
    but these days I'm pretty much stuck in the Windows world.

    The only problem I ever found with it is that it pukes if you try to
    download a huge number of headers. Other than that, it is the most
    elegant newsreader out there. Maybe so many Usenet posters have a stick
    up their ass because they spend too much time with a logically twisted
    and ugly interface.

    Ditto on Agent, and it runs quite nicely under recent versions of wine
    (last two years or so). Now if I could just figure out how to use
    Eudora with wine, I'd never have to boot Windoze.
