I know that there are at least three news readers available for use with emacs: gnews, gnus, and one recently named jnews or something like that. I don't recall hearing of jnews. What do people prefer and what ftp sites have them? You can get gnews and GNUS from tut.cis.ohio-state.edu. I use GNUS, mainly because it was easier to get running a coupla years ago. Now it seems to have a more active user community, and has been updated at least twice since gnews was. Also, while both authors have disappeared (GNUS' author temporarily twice, gnews' author unheard from in a year or two) from the net, at least GNUS' author delegated support responsibility to someone nearby.
