This article is from the AmiTCP/IP FAQ, by Mike Meyer with numerous contributions by others.
One package is INetUtils by Michael B. Smith. I use these and I recommend
them to all. These utilities work as drop in commands for AUUCP and let
you use UUCP compatible newsreaders such as TIN and UUCP compatible mail
readers such as AmigaELM. The faq was posted to USENET using InetUtils.
GRn is also available for AMITCP, which allows direct connection with your
news server.
AmiPOP by Scott Ellis is also included with InetUtils for users who can
connect to POP mail servers.
Pine is a port of a standalone mail and news system written for Unix.
All the above mentioned programs are available on Aminet in one of the
news, <ftp://aminet/comm/news> mail <ftp://aminet/comm/mail> or net
<ftp://aminet/comm/net> directories.
Also Gnus can be used with GNU Emacs (albeit a tad slow) for reading news.
Mail with emacs still requires an external transport unit such as
InetUtils. Gnus was one of the first applications used to test AmiTCP.
Thor <http://www.cs.uit.no/~kjelli/thor.html> is a very popular package
that does both mail and news.
