Can anyone recommend an offline newsreader with a reasonable killfile
facility? (ex Turnpike user)

Forté Agent. 29USD.

Nowadays so few people need an offline newsreader that it's an online reader
by default but can be set to download headers and then allow you to mark
those messages you want to retrieve, and so on.

I cannot understand why any Turnpike user would want to use any other
offering.

I'm intrigued.

Perhaps, like me, they no longer use MS Windows and have had to move away.

Wondered what you were using for a newsreader, but I see it's the same as

Pan in PCLinuxOS works fine for me (along with most of the software in
the repositories). I only occasionally get flashbacks to the 'assembly of
a Japanese bicycle'!

Yes. I do miss the erudite comments from Richard. However you can still
find him here:

I notice that he has retained his highwayman.com email address.
