I've been using Eternal September's Usenet service for about a decade
now.
Thanks for the recommendation. I registered on Eternal September and
pointed Thunderbird at it.
There are much better newsfroup clients, but they require payment...

From a technical point of view Thunderbird produces proper articles.
