I have been trying to figure out how to post to newsgroups on usenet 
with my new Emac- it comes with a program for email simply called 
"mail" and unlike outlook express, it seems to have no provision for 
reading or posting to newsgroups, like 
http://www.metalworking-forum.com.
I use internet explorer for surfing the net, and it doesnt seem to want 
to let me at usenet either- its default newsgroup application is 
outlook express, which I prefer not to use. The "mail" program that 
came with the emac is vastly superior to outlook express, which I 
previously used for years. It has an actual working junk mail filter. 
So I want to keep using it for email.
There must be some mac software out there that will enable me to access 
usenet, but I have no idea what is good, or where to get it.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
