I agree with markspace about using a newsreader and avoiding google 
groups. Here are some other newsreaders to try:

Back when I was a Windows user, the best newsreader I found was Forte's 
Agent http://www.forteinc.com/ , which formerly had free and paid-for 
versions. Now its just a 30 day free trial, but should still be good 
value at $30.

Or, you could try XPN, http://xpn.altervista.org/index-en.html , which is 
written in Python and is available as both source and Windows binary 
downloads.

These days I use Pan. Its useless unless you're running Linux, but is a 
standard package for most mainstream distros.
