Looking for a free newsgroup app - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Hi guys,

My Outlook Express is farked so I was wondering if anyone could reccomend a free downloadable application to simply read and post on newsgroups. I don't need anything that can join binary data or anything. Just need to subscribe to some groups related to a job I'm trying to get.

Thanks

Pretty much any e-mail client is also a usenet client.

For instance, Mozilla Thunderbird is also a usenet client...

I always used a program called xnews. Great app, but not the best for huge binary downloads--better for browsing and posting.

The 800lb gorilla of newsreaders is called Agent. It's been around a LONG time and has may features. Quite possibly more than you need. Google it: "free agent usenet reader".

I second xnews. It's great, and it's made in Delphi. =)

Newsbin: http://www.newsbin.com/ - this program will download binary attachments from UseNet.
