To add a positive angle to the discussion, what other newsreaders do
people use? FreeAgent and OE are most common but what other
programs do people recommend?

I too have used both of those as well as Gravity, but have finally
settled for Dialog. It is extremely powerful, allowing scripting to
be used to personalise the settings. I can associated different
sounds with various posters, colours along the same lines and
different signatures for different news groups. It really is very
flexible, but I wouldn't recommend it for the beginner.

For those using Outlook Express, a most useful addition is Quotefix.
It fixes many of the problems associated with posting with OE. Here
is a site where it is explained:

will give it a try.
