Pine can do nntp if configured properly. So can alpine.

hmmm. I thought it had an nntp functionality built in somewhere. I know pine
can do nntp, but it gets picky one some groups, especially the binaries groups.

I use mutt for email, but I don't think it does nntp.
It is a very nice terminal based mail reader.

have you tried mutt? its a command line NNTP client. you might have to install
Xcode tools and install it from the ports tree (from macports). most, if not
all command utilities are fairly accessible with VO.

Hi all.
I am looking for an accessible NNTP usenet client. I was trying four of them,
but none is usable.
I tried Nemo. It seemed very very promising; the configuration wizard was fully
accessible, but... the table containing the subscribed groups looks empty to
Voice Over. I mean, it can see the table but all rows and columns are empty for
VO. Of course, the control containing the message itself is a standard HTML
content that VO can read with no problem... :-) Menu bar cannot be accessed by
pressing VO+m, but they respond to ctrl+f2. Voice Over will not read them. :-)
Ok, uninstalled Nemo, I instal thunderbird. Just for fun. As you already know,
no accessibility at all there.
Thoth was m third attempt. Another disaster. I was not able to access the
preferences dialog.
The last usenet client I tried is Unisom. Preferences are accessible and so are
the menus and other pars of the application. But the overall accessibility is
less then pore. Some controls do respond to VO+space, others need the simulated
mouse click, and some are triggered only by a physical mouse click. The
message list is not easy to find, and the threaded view is not a list or a
table but some kind of text area... I am not sure... :-)
Any help?
