I'd like to provide an nntp newsfeed for my users, but I'm not sure how
to do it, other than importing every single nntp group into synchronet
and I don't think that's really feasible.

I connect to your system with nntp to fetch a few fidonet
echos. That's what I meant. The nntp method is practically a
no-brainer for new initiates into the art of converstion in FTN
echoes. It is highly under-advertised and under-promoted!
Ah ok. The problem with nntp is the lack of easy to obtain free
usenet clients for Windows.

Nah, I'm happy with Claws. Does everything I need.

May just be a config error on my side. Does Thunderbird do that? I'll
look into it.

It's only a feature in JamNNTP.

Ah ok. The problem with nntp is the lack of easy to obtain free usenet clients for Windows. FreeAgent used to be the goto but even that's no longer free. Some of the others just plain suck.
That said, I've been using Claws and quite like it.

Aha! Now that you mention it there is no "To" field when replying in newsgroups in Thunderbird.

thunderbird has the To field at nntp reply if you use "reply to all"
feature

Are you using the Windows port?
Sending to "Someone Else" doesn't really address the issue that Wilfred brought up in that it doesn't address it to the person you're
responding to.
