This would be why I use Forte Agent under Wine, why settle for hobbyware
BS like Pan?  Unix-like has terrific NNTP clients running in terminal,
but I have yet to see a GUI one worth anything.

Pan works for me. If I want to run Windows stuff, I'll fire up the Windows

Windows. It got weird on Linux and I switched to Pan.

My philosophy is to use the best, the latest, up-to-date, user-
friendly software for a given purpose.  It's pretty simple, other than
Usenapp for macOS, Forte Agent stands as a flagship GUI NNTP client,
native to Windows API but usable under Wine.  There's just no good
reason to put up with something less than.
