There are several to choose from, and not knowing your comfort level
with computers it would be hard to specifically recommend one program.
My best recommendation is to download several of them and try them out
and find out which one suits your needs. You can get a list of them by
going to Google ans searching for newsreader software.

I have used Forté's Agent for about 15 years, and continue
to like it. It's not free, but the price is not steep,
either. But I can't compare, becuase I have used no other.

Many folks like a reader called Gravity.

There's another called 40Tude, or something like that.

There's probably a dozen others who's names I can't remember
at the moment.

Some readers are better at text-centric newsgroups, while
some are better at binary-centric (movies, graphics,
applications) groups.

Whichever you choose, if you stick with it and get used to
it, you'll never look back--and you'll dislike web-forums on
a much grander scale.

40Tude Dialog

I use it because it works adequately for me, and some others I've tried
annoy me :-)

My brother is running Win 7 on 32 bit Home Premium on a HP laptop, using
Outlook 03 for email. Intermittently, he will get email messages that
display the entire message as HTML source (headers and all formatting
info).
What should he be checking for?

1. Does some html e-mail look like a web page?

2. Is it likely to happen to any user, even some whose e-mail looks OK
sometimes?

3. Are there per-sender settings on how to display e-mail?

4. Is his connection flaky?

5. Are the e-mails themselves well-formed?

You really should use a proper newsreader.

Windows Live mail does not quote properly, and also, you put your reply
below the sig so that it gets suppressed.

I'll go back and see if I can salvage the info from your post.
