Since my ISP discountinued Usenet access in early 2009, I've been using GoogleGroups to view the rec.games.pinball listserv. Needless to say, it is pretty flawed with the inability to see/mark threads and your own posts don't end up in the search engine for 72+ hours.

I miss being able to use MS Outlook with my news server.

Is there an alternative available and what are the long time users doing? It's a very active and EXTREMELY informative forum with great info dating back some 15 years+.

TIA,
Evan

I had problems with the update speed of the freebee news services. Ended up using Giganews at $2.69/month. Can still use Outlook express with this one and most others.
