Does anyone know how to use Mozilla Thunderbird to read this newsgroup?
I tried to set it up, but it said rec.woodworking was not valid or
could not be found or something. Or, are Teranews or Gravity (or any
other free/very cheap newsreaders) available for both Mac and PC?
Thanks,

Mozilla (or Netscape etc) can be used to read/respond/create msgs to any
of the newsgroups, however you still have to use a real ISP to do so as
you have to tell it what server to connect to and what type of
connection it is. I've been using Netscape for years now, works great.
Same kind of setup needed to do email but NG's are a seperate entity.
