I was under the impression that Outlook has supported newsgroup reading. I 
will have a look when I get back to my work-desk.

As for web-accessible groups, there is a discussion forum on LinkedIn for 
Forth. Not very active at present but has some good information and would 
suit the professional Forther.

If you would feel comfortable and would prefer to change OS then Kontact, 
which is part of the KDE desktop works very well for me. KDE runs on most 
Linux distributions. That is always assuming you would be allowed to change. 
If it is your employers mandating what software you use, then I guess you 
have little choice. When it behaves, the Google Groups access to this 
newsgroup might be OK but it doesn't always work properly.
