I currently use t-bird with an nntp account pointing to gmane to read this list and sereral others. Does kde have an nntp client program of any sort? I don't see it as a possible new account type in kmail. Also, search with kpackagekit yields nothing with "usenet" or "nntp" that is kde specific.

It is called knode and is contained in kdepim (yum install kdepim).
Thanks to both of you. Will take a look.
Fedora also ships NNTPGrab (http://www.nntpgrab.nl/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) which is a small, simple and neat nntp client.

But that's not a KDE program. :-(
KNode is KDE's NNTP client and it works great, I use it all the time for mailing list access (thanks to Gmane).

Haven't used Usenet in a long time, suspect your better off looking for something maintained rather than something for KDE given how niche Usenet has become.
So perhaps the GTK based Pan, which had a maintenance release 3 months ago?

Hi,
When I used to read network news I used pan under KDE with no problems at all. It was (probably still is?) a good news reader with a nice GUI interface.

I use Pan regularly. Other than the odd freeze, it works great. Has been improved greatly from years ago.

Knode, it's included in kdepim
