Can anyone recommend a half decent free (or inexpensive) newsreader for 
Windows?

I currently use Eternal September and Thunderbird, and find Thunderbird 
flaky at best. With all the spam about I have to close and reopen it 
multiple times to actually read messages that are there. Setting up 
filters is fiddly as well. Most of the stuff around seems to be aimed at 
binary downloads - I just want something for reading, and posting.

I tried Pan yesterday, no documentation, and I could only get it to work 
partially
