Hm. I use Thunderbird for email because the built-in features cover what
I need. For newsgroup (usenet) access on Windows I use a very old
shareware programm called Agent, in combination with a local
installation of a NNTP proxy (and cache) called leafnode, accessible
only on my internal network at home.  My netnews provider is
News.Individual.NET, costing me 10 EUR per year.
