  As others have mentioned, Thunderbird is the most logical alternative/
replacement, both for newsgroups (NetNews) and e-mail.

  If you only use WLM for newsgroups, not for email, there are several
other alternatives on which their users can comment.

  FYI, I use a CUI (Character/'Console' UI) newsreader (tin), but use
Thunderbird for e-mail and occasionally for newsgroups.
