   Forte Agent has a similar appearance but isn't free any more; I think   
   one of the other free newsreaders isn't too different but I can't   
   remember which one. One thing to watch for nowadays is that a   
   newsreader/mailreader doesn't open attachments by default. Some of the   
   older ones still available might not run on Windows 7 or newer.   
   SeaMonkey is another newsreader associated (like Thunderbird) with   
   Mozilla but also seems to be a browser.
