Hello,
I found an amazing service (and free ;) ) for peoples like us, Newsgroups 
users or webmasters.
It's a plug-in (made by frenchie dudes p: p) allowing to transform most used 
forums on the Internet in true Newsgroups feed server. Simply register on 
their site (http://www.myteepee.fr) and download the plugin call HOOP' NNTP, 
according to the case in webmaster or user.
With this plugin the users can consult and answer on most forums (phpBB 
Phorum, vbulletin.) directly through outlook or thunderbird (but others NNTP 
clients too!!). I've installed it on my web Forum (phpbb) and it works quite 
well !!!
Here comes a good divided plan...
