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.

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.
