Question: What are some popular clients people use for BBS's for this sort of thing? I'm not even sure what all systems
allow such access TBH. I know of JAMNNTPd as server <> JAM which I may look over a tad for any BBS-specific 'X-whatever'
"kludges" in the headers... anything else I should be aware of?
min and leafnode are ones for *nix based machines, i personally use thunderbird (or my bbs LOL) although i am a bit disappointed that eternity doesnt carry "alt.ensign.wesley.die.die.die" LOL

I'll see if I can snag those two clients. I did find "Pan" which helped me work through a couple issues.
here's the list from my ubuntu install i have at hand (the bbs one :D) brag - Downloads and assembles multipart Usenet binaries
ifgate - Internet to Fidonet gateway
jamnntpd - NNTP Server allowing newsreaders to access a JAM messagebase
nn - Heavy-duty USENET news reader (curses-based client)
slrn - threaded text-mode news reader
...
I've put together a quick and dirty implementation allowing NNTP write access in addition to the existing read enigma supports.

I have no idea how popular it is, but I use Claws Mail with JamNNTPd. One nice feature is support for "format=flowed". See https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3676
The Gatebau '94 / '97 standard, especially for MSGID and REPLY kludge translation.
