What usenet client do you use?

Is this info not shown in the message headers?

Yes. I can see thunderbird. But I am lost.

The only client that is working for me is PAN but with problems.

I tried thunderbird and seamonkey but I cannot list the groups
(for some reason) on these two clients. I press Refresh and groups
are not listed.

If you're using ES then it's tricky (if this is the same problem I used
to have with Thunderbird + ES).

You have to install and select 'always authenticate' or some such thing.
But you can't just change the setting after you've already installed it without. Try deleting that news account, and reinstalling. Don't forget
that setting!

Without it, you get a very small number of newsgroups, one of which I
think explains why you're not seeing the rest.

For tbird (and presumably seamonkey, but I've never used it), you have
to select that "always authenticate" option.

Thunderbird on Windows 10 Pro x64 and Windows 11 Pro with E-S.  Works perfectly.

I have news.solani.org as a backup.

i2pn2.org is better, solani doesn't seem to have many articles.

You have to fiddle. I had te same problem of losing Google groups and
had to resort to Thunderbird. And of course now I can't remember what I
did. But it's a known problem everyone has. Now what is it ... ?

Settings -> Account settings -> Always request authentication when
connecting to this server.

Tick it.

Now who would have imagined that?

i used i2pn2.org and some older version of sea monkey (from 2014) the
newest didnt work so i got a sjot of some old - amd it seem to work
well, though in gougle groups it looked better imo (i probably will also
not stay here for to long, wanted study a bit sockets untin sunday then probably will go)

https://www.eternal-september.org/index.php?showpage=faq#Login-No-Auth

yes this was the problem.
The other problem is that in thunderbird we need create an account
with defaults, then *BEFORE* trying it, set the "always authenticate"
and SSL, otherwise the there is no error but the comp lang c is not
listed.

As I recall (poorly, mind you -- it's been years since I've used tbird),
if you tick the box after you've already connected to E-S; restarting
tbird will let it properly auth to E-S.

Claws mail.
Also tried MicroPlanet Gravity and found it usable, but somewhat less convenient than Claws mail.
Tried Mozilla Thunderbird too. Found it unusable.

You have to hit the "Refresh" button in the group subscription menu.

The current version of SM works here.
