Some clients support multiple ???identities??? for posting and
emailing, so you can choose a different signature or return address.
CAUTION
Spammers use software ???bots??? to collect every email address they find on Usenet, so
never post a real email address. Use something that a human can read, but a bot
would have trouble with, like mynameNO@SPAMmyISP.com.

FIGURE 16.4 Google Groups gives you a searchable and browsable Usenet newsfeed on the
Web. This is the alt.os.linux.suse group. The standard Google ads appear at the bottom of the
page.
Choosing a Usenet Newsreader
Choices abound in reading Usenet in openSUSE. Many email clients can also deliver
news. Several standalone clients are also around (Knode/Kontact, Pan, and several textbased
choices). Some require you to be online when accessing news, others permit offline
reading. Of course, there??™s also gnus for Emacs.
Mail/News Clients
Reading email and reading news are very similar tasks: Read and respond, perhaps save
for later use. For this reason, the easiest way to keep up may be to use a mail client that
supports reading Usenet.
