Unless you are using Windows Mail which doesn't do NNTP you may even be able to use your present email client. Over the years I've tried Thunderbird, Opera, Gravity and Windows Live Mail and each time I've come back to Thunderbird.  I use it for both normal email and the newsgroups. The only "quirk" with the version I'm using is that one uses the "Followup" button to reply to newsgroup messages rather than the "Reply" button which is used for email.  Apparently the latest version is intelligent enough to only have one button for both types of message.
