min and leafnode are ones for *nix based machines, i personally use thunderbird (or my bbs LOL) although i am a bit
disappointed that eternity doesnt carry "alt.ensign.wesley.die.die.die" LOL

lol! I do miss groups like that

yea i know.. there was a whole bunch of them i loved.

I'll see if I can snag those two clients. I did find "Pan" which helped me work through a couple issues.

they should be in the standard package manager... but come to think about it. I think leafnode is actually an nntp server as opposed to a client..

here's the list from my ubuntu install i have at hand (the bbs one :D)

brag - Downloads and assembles multipart Usenet binaries

ifgate - Internet to Fidonet gateway

jamnntpd - NNTP Server allowing newsreaders to access a JAM messagebase

nn - Heavy-duty USENET news reader (curses-based client)

slrn - threaded text-mode news reader

slrnface - shows X-Faces from a newsposting on an X11 terminal emulator

tin - Full-screen easy to use Usenet newsreader

sabnzbdplus - web-based binary newsreader with nzb support

trn4 - Threaded USENET news reader, based on rn (4.0 beta test)

I've put together a quick and dirty implementation allowing NNTP write access in addition to the existing read enigma supports.

Question: What are some popular clients people use for BBS's for this
sort of thing?

I have no idea how popular it is, but I use Claws Mail with JamNNTPd. One nice feature is support for "format=flowed".
See https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3676

I know of JAMNNTPd as server <> JAM which I may look over a tad for any BBS-specific 'X-whatever' "kludges" in the headers... anything else I should be aware of?

The Gatebau '94 / '97 standard, especially for MSGID and REPLY kludge translation.

Sweet, I will check all of this out, thank you!
