I'm looking for a newsreader who besides all normal stuff could aslo group
the newsgroups you subscribed to.

For example, I subscribet to
5 photocamera groups
6 Job/Freelance groups
3 game groups
2 Whisky groups
ect...

Once upon a time, just after the dino's died out, neuwsgroups could be
sorted simply by the name they carried, but nowaday's an alphabetical
listing does not even remotely make sense

Most news agenst have (as deafult) on the lefside a list of sbscribed
newsgroups. And now I would like to add (fictive) folders to it so I can
group the newsgroups with the same subjec, just like you can sort out
received e-mails.

Once I tried a newsreader who used tabs to seperate goups of newsgroups, but
it just was not my thing.

Any idea's, anyone?

Xnews both allows this via the creation of folders, I think freeagent
does also.
 
Thanks for your answer, but Forte agent is not exacly what I was searching
for.
Forte Agent allows messages/treads to be copied to a folder, not an entire
news group.

To be honest, all I realy want is some visual way to group newsgoups by
subject.
I don't want to download the messsage or the compleete newsgroups.

It might be hard to explane, but my mind is convinced news agents should
work the way I tried to describe, and almost rejects any other way (yeah, my
mind is way to autonome for its own good ;-) ) It is also why I'm still
stuck with outlook express.

I'm off to try Xnews

Glad I could help, if after reading the included documentation you still
need some help or have some questions come on over to
news.software.readers and ask in there, dont forget to add [XNEWS] to
the subject line.
