NNTP was a way to go. Sadly not many portals supports it promoting only 
web access or mail list. Personally I do not like to polute my mailbox 
with a tons of e-mails and clean them up later on. NNTP client does this 
when I want it and you can configure it the way you want it. What else 
would you need for a news groups?
