Haven't found one yet either.  There are things that clearly irk me
about (no utf-8 support, bug with memory allocation when article numbers
are high) and I'd love to have a copy of the CVS repo to convert it to
something else and play with it (I guess I could do w/o the history).

Still beats the pants off almost every text-based newsreader though.

I must confess that my Usenet usage has been less and less over the years,
in the fr.* hierarchy, it is getting less content and we just ditched our
internal newsgroups for a phpbb3 based solution :(
