He's meaning RSS feeds, but people mistakenly call them newsgroups.

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
