news group readers

[Scott Howell]

Folks, I asked about this a while back and after exploring the options  
available, Unison was by far the best solution. However, until they  
add support for handling html formatted messages, I really can't use  
it. I have not found any other reader that was able to connect to the  
news server I'm using for my course work. Why, can't say, but just  
wasn't happening. So, I believe I read or heard that there is a  
version of Pine that does not need to run in the Terminal and my  
understanding is it can handle news groups. Has anyone had any  
experience with it? Also, has anyone any other suggestions for  
accessible news group readers?
I have been using Outlook Ezpress, but the most significant problem  
I've run into and can't resolve is when arrowing through the list of  
news groups, Window-Eyes seems to be incapable of speaking the entire  
folder name and grouped messages. It starts speaking then suddenly  
stops. I don;t know if this is do to the updating that is going on or  
what. In any case I looked at freeagent, but I would rather spend my  
money on a Mac-based solution and not on a Windows-based solution. SO,  
I'm open to any ideas folks may have until Unison gets html support.  
I'm not looking for a web-based solution, that is the alternative  
offered by the university. I'm looking for something I can grab the  
news group messages and read them locally.

tnx
