XanaNews is a free, powerful, fully featured NNTP client (newsreader) for Microsoft Windows. It is written in Delphi. The original creator was Colin Wilson.
Support for Multiple News (NNTP) Servers.
Multiple threaded engine. Supports three threads per news server so you can simultaneously download group lists, message headers and messages for multiple servers.
Threaded multicolumn tree message display. Display messages in thread or chronological order. Sort threads or messages by date, size, author or subject.
Displays NNTP and MIME images inline, building them up as they arrive.
Save images and other binary attachments.
Powerful message deleting feature. Delete messages that don't match your criteria.
Threads that contain messages to you are displayed highlighted.
Intelligent resume/cancel button. When it's red you can cancel the selected operation. When it's green you can resume after network failures, and when it's grey you can't click it!
Batch mode. Define batches of message retrieval operations. A single batch can work across multiple newsgroups - even on multiple servers!
Both images and other binary attachments can now be saved.
Powerful configurable message filters can be created for individual newsgroups, or all newsgroups on a server.
Decode UUE, Base64 and yEncoded messages.
