I've always used OE, all you have to do is apply the specific Reg fix to
enable bottom posting. Doesn't need special software or a 3rd party program.

Oh, right - that's a lot easier

OE QuoteFix does address other "issues" besides the top/bottom post and,
BTW, the reply above doesn't seem to have recognised the sig delimiter.

Don't you just love Microsoft! Basic functionality requires Registry
tweaks or fixes.

For Windows? Free Agent or Agent takes a lot of beating. *nix is a bit
trickier to find something decent for. Currently I'm using the one
built into Thunderbird. I prefer knode but getting it to install on
this distro (Ubuntu) is a PITA

You tried Google Groups yet? Can't think of a better way of being able
to catch up your fave newsgroups on different machines (note I didn't
say PCs) - just need a browser with access to t'internet.

Google Groups is OK for reading old posts out of the archive, but for
reading on a day-to-day basis I think it's far inferior to a proper
newsreader - unless indeed you have to use a different computer every
day.
