Best bet is to use a dedicated newsreader, I use Xnews, it's free!
xnews.newsguy.com
So is OE and it's supplied with the majority of computers.
Dedicated newsreader - definitely NOT!
Free - questionable - supplied at no extra cost whether you want it or not when
you pay lots of money to M$.
About the one piece of pricing M$ got right - OE is priced at its real value.
I've never used OE for newsgroups, but this little prog is supposed to

OE is designed for newsgroups,
WRONG
it comes free with the computer,
WRONG - where exactly can I get OE for free ?
it's the defacto standard,
WRONG
it's been in use for over a decade,
POSSIBLY - can't be bothered to check
very few 'new' newsreaders offer significant improvement,
WRONG
Yenc has been around for years but the adoption rate is very low.
VERY WRONG
Five (possibly six) wrong out of six.
