Newsgroup software

Hi
I currently use Mozilla newsgroup software. I want to be more active in some newsgroups, among them Ruby. So a good newsgroup software is neccessary. I do not satisfy with Mozilla. Because after I click on messages sort by date (to know what is latest post), I can not turn back to original. It has also some other irritating factors. Are there other software packages, you will suggest to me?
Thanks

I really love slrn. You can find it at slrn.sourceforge.net It is by far
the best newsagent I've tried.

Which "Mozilla newsgroup software" are you using? Thunderbird has been relatively good to me.

Hi,

post), I can not turn back to original.

That's not true. You can switch back to threaded view by

a) Selecting View -> Sort by -> Threaded from the menu or
b) in the list of threads, click on the leftmost column (the one containing
   the symbols)

Independent from that, I hear pan is a good client.

tin, slrn (command-line, tend to require a weekend for more or
less proper configuration but also tend to just work then);
pan (gnome newsreader), knode (kde newsreader).
