OT What News Reader do you all use??? HELP!@!!

I have an account with free.teranews (one time charge of $3.95)
It has worked flawlessly until a few days ago with Outlook Express.
Now I get errors often and Teranews support tells me they are not even set
up to work with OE!

They suggested I try a real newsreader software.

I just tried News Rover 11... seems OK, but I want to know what the rest of
you guys use!

OE is just so much easier, anyone have some input on this?
Thanks

I use Pan and just love it. When I have to use machines that can't run Pan
or don't have it installed I use Mozilla Thunderbird. It's not nearly as
easy to use as Pan, but still isn't too bad.

I've used OE for years.

The premiere reader is probably Forte Agent. For many users, the less
sophisticated free version Free Agent is more than good enough.

Some people use Thunderbird for both news and e-mail and swear by it
as a news reader - I swear *at* it as a news reader, but I'm spoiled
by Agent.

Seconded. I've used the freeware version of Forte Agent for years, and
highly recommend it. I've never felt the need to use the full feature
version (I think the paid version will also read email and handle RSS
feeds, among other things)

My ISP has some news groups. I've also used Outhouse Distress (also
called Virus Magnet) both on my ISP and also free tera. Works
reasonably well for both of them.

I want to put in a vote for XNews. It's a freebie created as a labor of
love by a guy who uses usenet himself, and he built it with all the
features he wanted for himself. One of the best, I find, is that you can
color-code the responses. So if you have a long thread, you color each
level of response differently, and it's much easier to read.

And hey, the price is right. ;-)

Re Free Agent:
Forté has offered Free Agent for more than 10 years. With the release of
Agent 4.0 we have decided to retire Free Agent and focus on providing
Agent customers with exciting new features and timely upgrades.

Copied from: http://www.forteinc.com/agent/index.php

I use Mozilla Thunderbird myself. Have at times tried Free Agent and
Xnews, but never took to them.

Try pan ( http://pan.rebelbase.com/ )
It's mainly made for *nix, but there's a 'doze version and it rocks.
Easy to use, easy to set up. The only drawback is it does not post binaries.
If you *must* post binaries, use something simple like powerpost.
