Steve, you said everything I was going to say (except the yenc part).
So rather than a "Me too", I'll just swap out the related facts. Hope
you don't mind. ;-) --Puckdropper
Lew,
I use XNews available from http://xnews.newsguy.com/
It's free and works on all kinds of posts including yenc. You will like
Astraweb also. I have been on them since February 2007 when Wildblue
dumped my access.
Hope this helps,
Puckdropper

Lew,
I also had to find another newsgroup provider due to AT&T's dropping of the
service. All that I did was to set up my new Astraweb account in Outlook
Express replacing the AT&T account. I also set up Thunderbird for newsgroup
access on another PC.
So far, I am very pleased with the service. There's only one puzzling thing
that I haven't been able to find an explanation for yet. On occasion, while
viewing a newsgroup, I will hear a pinging sound. Sometimes it's only for a
few times and at other times it gets so annoying that I simply turn off the
sound. This happens with both Outlook Express and Thunderbird, so it must be
something either related to the service or how I'm using it. (Perhaps
someone replying to your post may have an idea as to what that's all about.)
Peter.

Lew,
I use XNews available from http://xnews.newsguy.com/
It's free and works on all kinds of posts including yenc. You will like
Astraweb also. I have been on them since July when ATT dumped my access.
Hope this helps,

A simple me too. Xnews has been it for me since Netscape messed up around
version 6 (???).
