News Xpress is aptly named — it is definitely one of the quickest newsreaders available. News Xpress does lack some features central to Agent, Outlook Express, and Gravity, including options for watching/ignoring threads, efficient online/offline modes, and a feature for automatically catching up with newsgroups.
Despite being discontinued, News Xpress didn't become one of the most popular newsreaders on the Internet without reason — its speed, ease of use, and solid set of features have helped earn News Xpress many a faithful user.
Pros: Feature-rich; easy customization; kill-file, filtering, and sorting capabilities
Cons: Lacks extensive on-line help, somewhat buggy, needs thread monitoring; dated feature-set and interface; discontinued — no longer developed or supported
