I didn't know that comp.lang.cobol was available as a listserver. I
subscribe to bit.listserv.ibm-main that way - but read it with a news
reader. That way, I don't keep getting Outlook telling me I have
new mail which isn't really for me.

There are lots of newsreader programs available. Most of these are
also e-mail programs. Most people say that Outlook Express is the
most dangerous of these. I use Outlook for my work e-mail and
Thunderbird for my home e-mail (accessed at work) - but neither for my
news. I like to keep them separate - and I like to have a design
that works best with news readers - the way I access news.

There is a newsgroup which just discusses news readers.
news.software.readers. I have tried several, and paid for a couple
(three, if you count Opera, which used to be shareware - but I didn't
like its newsreader).

Personally, I hate web based news readers.
