What other decent newsgroup editor/browser is available that is free?
Cheapskate :-). Why do you expect everything for free? Somebody put a lot of work into that software...... :-)
Forte Agent is pretty good. There is a free version and inexpensive paid version.
There's a lot more configurability than Outlook Exploder and does not take much acclimatisation.

main problem with Agent and infact a lot of other news readers is the lack of native SSL suport

I'd not be surprised if I got this wrong, but isn't that a Microsoft ploy to make the competition seem less attractive, and isn't security MS's major bug bear at present? According to the news of the last 36 hours, this "Blaster" thing seems to be making that point as I heard it. I realise it's only news at all because it's "the silly season", or we'd never have heard a word of it, but this is how it's being presented in the news just now.

looked quite promising at first, but the bugs got the better of my patience in the end, and that's how I came to stop using IE.

I'll give them a look over, another is webattack.com - they have a freeware section which has served me very well a lot of the time, better than average to be honest.

I've been using MicroPlanet Gravity for some time. It supports filtering, kill files, etc. Unfortunately it's no longer officially supported, but I've just found these pages which offer some hope:
Well, I've been running Dialog under Windows ME without problems for more than 2 years.
Yep, my feelings exactly.
Is it free and downloadable? And from where?
