Chocolate Pi has raised a good point. I use Outlook Express 5 which inspite of all its sins, does present the information in a way that I find easy to follow. I find the web based solutions such as Deja-News a right pain (although I sometimes find Deja News useful for checking back).Another point when using my type of reader is that you need to have access to a news server and not all ISP's provide this. I have 2 ISP's and the one I use most often has only recently (within the past 1 or 2 months)provided this service.
