Without fail someone (on the Win Tech mailing list) asks about replacements for Outlook Express as a NewsReader at least once a month. Here is the list of options that I'm aware of:

1. Omea from JetBrains (free through the end of March).
2. Agent from Forte ($29; also has free version)
3. Xnews (free)
4. Thunderbird (free; companion to Firefox)
5. Newsgator has an NNTP plugin (but no posting support)
6. 40tude (free for personal use; shareware for commercial)
7. NewsRover ($29.95)

Try DMOZ for more.

I've not tried any of these and have no idea if they even work. Finally, I've warnings about  the quality (both the application and the support) of "MAPILab's NNTP for Outlook".
