Default News reader

Looking for a good quality but lightweight text newsgroup reader application. I know there's Thunderbird, and Outlook Express, and plugins for other stuff like Outlook, but as I'm after something simple and have enough applications installed already, I'm not sure which way to turn.

Any suggestions welcome.

PS - No web-based readers please. The news server I want to use is inside a firewall, so they won't work.

*BONG!*

Mark searches both friends and acquaintances for the ultimate news reader.

*BONG!*

Messrs Feek and Jingo respond with both helpful, and unhelpful responses.

*BONG!*

The latter of the two will most likely be flamed henceforth.

*BONG!*


Those were your headlines, I'm Jingo McJingleberry, Welcome to tonight's Boat Drinks News.
