So Google groups is shutting down new posts, which will pretty much
finally kill this group
once and for all (for the 3 regular participants, but maybe a few
others still lurking out there).
It's been an interesting multi decade(!) ride with you guys. Best of
luck out there. ;)
You too, ed.
I've found the iOS Newswatcher app is free for two groups, which
combined with Eternal September
for hosting is a 'lousy UI but free' solution. For MacOS, there's
Hogwasher, which IIRC they want
$35 for. Still debating what other software might be worth trying or
not...in any event, hh@ is a direct
email to me if you're inclined to drop a private line...I'll provide
pics of the soon-to-be new ride! <g>

I've been using Thunderbird fairly successfully. There is some weirdness
where it stops communicating with Eternal-September until I quit and
re-launch it.
Yeah.. I think it happens if you leave it open too long?
I had that problem with Thunderbird too. But I am not using Eternal September.
It would just lose the connection after a few minutes. Close and restart and
its fine again for a few minutes. Plus Thunderbird is unuseably slow on my
old 2014 Mac Mini. As in it just locks up for no reason.
For these (and other bugs/problems) I gave up on Thunderbird and bought
Usenapp. It is lightning fast on the old Mac Mini. No connection problems. In
fact, no problems at all.
I've said it before and I say it again. Thunderbird is shit software. Yes, its
free. And worth every penny.
