I'd highly recommend Free Agent by Forte... there is a free version, but
I don't know the URL... just do a search for Free Agent, you should be able
to find it :)

-----------------------------------------------
I have Free Agent on this computer along with outlook, and
both Netscape 4.7 and 7.0.....

I use the older version of netscape (4.7)... no matter which
News Reader I try I keep coming back to 4.7 not many bells
and whistles
but simple and effective for me...

Of these 4 I "personally" rank them in this order
4.7 then Free Agent then 7.0 and Outlook, a very very
distant last... I can not even remember the last time I used
outlook......

Did you use the wizard to set up your news account on Outlook Express and put the proper entries in each field?

My worst problem with posting replies is that I get a server request for a password resend.

Are you trying to use your ISPs news server or have you set up your account directly with
msnews.microsoft.com ?
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/

Using an NNTP Newsreader
You can use any NNTP newsreader to access Microsoft newsgroups, but Microsoft recommends that you use Outlook Express, which is installed as part of Internet Explorer. If Outlook Express does not appear in your Start menu under Programs, Download Internet Explorer now.

After you have Outlook Express or another NNTP newsreader installed on your computer, you will be prompted to set up a newsgroup account. During that setup process, when prompted for a news server, specify msnews.microsoft.com.

After you set up your account, you will see the Microsoft newsgroups listed on the left side of this page (without the topic categories) in your NNTP newsreader. Search through these newsgroups or subscribe to any newsgroup in the list to start reading and posting messages.


Setting Up Outlook Express
If you have any questions about how to set up Outlook Express, including how to use it to subscribe to newsgroups, work offline, read your Internet mail, and customize it for your own personal preferences, click Help on the top menu bar of Outlook Express, or see the online Outlook Express How-To Guide.

As long as you're giving setup instructions, change your newsreader to post in
Plain Test instead of HTML.
