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.

I've never used OE for newsgroups, but this little prog is supposed to
make
it Y-happy.

OE is designed for newsgroups, it comes free with the computer, it's the
defacto standard, it's been in use for over a decade, very few 'new'
newsreaders offer significant improvement, Yenc has been around for years
but the adoption rate is very low.
