1. I don't know why anyone would bother exhuming ancient software like
that.

2. That's the second time you've said that an email/newsgroup appplication
is needed. That's silly and untrue. One doesn't need an email client or
a news client that's bolted to an email client to do Usenet. One simply
needs a news client, and the stand-alone news clients usually surpass the
Swiss-Army-Knife combinations in featurs and configurability.
