Never quite understood the "not have access to a newsreader" argument. 
IIRC many of them are free. For example, I use Netscape for both mail 
and news reading. It's free and works well. Is Outlook Express free? I 
don't know - I hate both Outlook and Outlook Express. Then there's Free 
Agent that I hear about. I assume it's free but I'm not sure. And isn't 
there GNUS... And hasn't anybody ported things like tin and trn to 
Cygwin yet! :-)  IMHO getting a news reading client is no harder than 
getting an email reading client.

YMMV.
