#47160 — Trying to find a good news reader for my android tablet.

Sorry for asking a non-forth question, but I've been reading a lot of complaints about people using google groups to post and reply to comp.lang.forth postings and was wondering if any of you have found a good news reader or even know the correct usnet address for this forum? Thanks in advance. Take care now.

I had the same thing happen to me, Google sends out huge lines and 
persons were complaining.

I now use Thunderbird, and joined the news reader 
news.eternal.september.org, Thunderbird will break the lines so you 
don't end up with a paragraph as a single line.

Thanks Cecil, but the link you gave me appears to be dead. Also thunderbird doesn't appear to work with android. I went to their site and they reported that my system didn't meet it's requirments. Is it a linux app? I guess I could had it to my RPi and run it from there, but I do not use my Pi for reading groups, but if there isn't another choice, I guess I could since I really enjoy this group and want to keep learning from all of the great developers here. Take care now.

Why wouldn't it work on Android? It's in the play store and is
produced by Mozilla, as is Thunderbird.

Someday I will return to Thunderbird, I have used my current newsreader
for years. As long my Vista stays stable.

Thunderbird is free and works fine.

Thank you Mrs. Rather, but Thunderbird doesn't appear to be on playstore so if you know a link to it for android.
David, thanks for the link to Newsgroup, but I do not know the address for usenet and the one they provide 
"news.host.com" doesn't connect. If you have this information or could help me configure it, please email me directly.
My email address is: murphy.darin@gmail.com
The reason is because I really won't want to tie up comp.lang.forth further with my "non-forth" questions.
Thanks again Mrs. Rather, and David. Take care now.

David Hume was able to help me find a news reader that works with
 Android so I hopefully the "line length issue has been
 resolved.

Take care now,

I'm a little surprised that there is no open source newsreader written in forth with so many forth experts on this list.  It's hardly a difficult task.
