I've been using Thunderbird since Google Groups shut down, but I mostly enjoyed GG for the ability to quickly find messages by keywords. I set
TB to keep all messages, but it's search has been horrible and can't
find hardly anything. It also had a bug last week where it
re-downloaded all the messages and now everything older than a week just comes up with an error.
Now Thunderbird has just decided there's no messages in this group, when
I just downloaded the last 500 and started looking at them.
One of the other I'm looking for is the ability to retain all messages
in a particular newsgroup,
Also built in spellcheck. I remember I tried a couple other newsreaders
like x-news which is supposed to have a way to set up spellcheck but I couldn't get working.
I'm on PC, so running in Windows (10 right now) is a must.
I don't care at all about binaries as I'm using eternal-september. I
don't mind paying a little, and am considering Agent too.

Agent 8.0 has global search, a spell checker and supports news & snews.
You can find a registration key for it in a search on google groups.
Agent is now abandonware, so you can no longer buy a registration key.

I was considering that, but I found out Agent will eventually quit
working for posts on Jan 19, 2038 and later. Yes it's 13 years away. I don't really want that to sneak up on my though.
I'm considering 40tude dialog or microplanet gravity. People seem to be
more vocal that dialog is better, but the site for them, and all links
to them are asking for a username and password login to access them,
which makes me skeptical.
Both haven't been touched/supported in 14+ years either which doesn't
instill any confidence.
Are there any more modern or updated text newsreaders that aren't tied
to pay servers, or primarily for email?

I have good luck with 40tude Dialog, and I run it under wine on Linux. It
may be old, but consider that Usenet hasn't changed much either. It's
working fine for me.

Not really, as far as gui programs. Sylpheed is ok, but it has one issue I >really dislike. Unless I'm using it incorrectly, when it does an automatic >check of the server while I'm reading a message the message then just >disappears (no longer Unread). I find that irritating.

After looking into that, I'm guessing both 40tude and Microplanet
Gravity are affected due to their last updates being 14+ years ago, but
I don't see any way to be sure either way.
After looking into that, I'm guessing both 40tude and Microplanet
Gravity are affected due to their last updates being 14+ years ago, but
I don't see any way to be sure either way.
I wonder if Usenet servers will be affected considering their age? I
assume at least pay ones would want to fix the problems. Not sure about
the free ones.
If the program can import MBOX files, this can be tested by importing
an MBOX file with some messages' "Date:" headers set to after 2038.
Check two things:
1. Dates after 2038 _display_ correctly in the message list.
2. Dates after 2038 are in the correct _order_ in the message list.
