I read and post to newsgroups daily.
Sometimes I subscribe to a variety of different newsgroups and post in
different newsgroups.
Sometimes in sci.math, sometimes in programming related, sometimes in sports
related, sometimes move on to another nntp server, for example, Micorsoft
News server to ask techinical questions... , etc.
Is there a software can collect what I have post and what other people
replied and present them in front me in an efficient and uniform way, and
with new replies arrival pop-up/notification feature?
Currently I am using Outlook Express. It is not convinient at all.
I post on different groups. Then I have to go back and click on each groups
to see if there are replies to my postings... And a lot of times they don't
get reply. And maybe after 15 days they got reply. I tend to forgot myself.
And some newsgroups are so hot that my postings got washed away in half a
day... then I have to scroll down many message headers to find my own
postings... and a lot of times such searching takes much time. Then I reply
to other people's replies and they reply too and then such tedious procedure
repeats.
If some discussion is meaningful. We'd like to save. But Outlook Express
does not save conversations in a nice-looking way. Maybe I want to save as
PDF. But the layout should be neat and easy to read.
Outlook Express also does not have auto-filling feature. So specify a list
of newsgroups to post is also painful.
Google groups web-based newsreader is a lot better. But still has
shortcomings. The worst shortcoming is it does not allow subscription to MS
newsservers.
Please recommend a good newsreader, thank you so much!
