Any decent free newsreaders apart from Phonews (which you cannot post from)
You've been around long enough to know this.
If you think a query is really relevant to two newsgroups -- and in
this case I agree with you that it is -- don't start two separate
threads. Crosspost.
It's not rocket surgery.

But there's much more useful information in the Android doublepost.

The OP has a half dozen Android newsreaders to test, where all I ask is >what I ask of everyone (including myself), which is an update in the end
so that everyone benefits from every question ever posed to these ngs.
not everyone reading in one newsgroup is necessarily reading in another; cross-posting is anathema to common sense--and to netiquette in general! better to post articles to only one newsgroup at a time but never xpost*
some readers, especially the younger generation, do not use anything but smartphones; whereas many seniors (e.g. myself) have never used anything
but desktop/laptop computers since the xt, trs-80, etc., were in diapers

If you multipost or crosspost, the message should show up in all the groups >you've posted to. Why would crossposting not show a message in each group
it is crossposted? You may hit limits of number of groups, but you usually >only want 2 or 3 at most anyway. Multiposting just causes readers to show
the same message unread in each group, even though you have already read
it.

I would assume that if your server blocks multiposts, and you want to >multipost, use a different server.
These are my opinions, and my opinions have been known to be wrong at
times.
