Does anyone know of a usenet newsreader that lets you sort by replies to
just your own posts? so instead of wading thru lots of posts looking for
replies to yours, you can easily find them. thanks,

I use Agent8 and it's easy to sort on "Author" column to group various
posters.

But that doesnt let you see who has replied to your own posts.

Some news readers do allow you to highlight your own posts using
the filter system and then it isnt hard to see who has replied to those.
Can't remember which ones do that tho.

I just click TBird to show threads, then track down the threads to see
who's replied to what.

Forté Agent should go close. It has provision to watch a specific
thread in addition to letting you generate your own filters. It can
also sort by author.

Catch might be lots of folk don't get on with it because it's not
particularly intuitive and takes a while to master, at least partly
because its also highly customisable. Nor is it free.

Mine's an ancient version (as the headers for this post will show) so
I can't vouch for the current offering which I'm presuming will have
retained the same features.

I started using it at, IIRC, 0.93 - pre-release - decided it was
brilliant and paid the money. Been on the upgrade cycle ever since.
Hadn't looked at the website for some time - until just now.

I think I'm on 7.2. Not sure, I'd need to fire up my ancient Windows
machine. But, yes, those features have been retained and heaps more
added. Forte Agent can do way more than I ever will need - and I only
use it for email archiving these days since they have no Mac or Linux
variant.

Outlook Express.

Yup. Good old Outlook Express. I have a modified version that runs on
Win7 x64 and should also run on later versions of Windows.

If you want to try it yell out and I'll put it up somewhere. I wouldn't
use it for email as it wouldn't be very secure but for newsgroups, maybe
worth a shot.

Thunderbird.

BetterBird - which is an attempt to fix at least some of the bugs in TB,
but there are so very, very many.

Both allow you to create a custom "View:" filter with "From:" contains
"xyz".

You're using News.Individual.Net as your news server. NIN allows you
to add a 'ID-MYUSERID' tag in the 'Message-ID:' header of your posts [1].

As far as I know, Thunderbird - your newsreader - allows you to score
on that header.

In my newsreader (tin), I score on messages where my tag is in the
last message-id of the 'References:' header, i.e. messages which are a
response to one of my posts.

N.B. I do not know if Thunderbird allows you to generate your own
message-ids, which is needed for the first step. If not, you'll need a
different newsreader or a proxy between your newsreader and the NIN news
server. (I use Hamster for that purpose.)

Mine's too old to qualify for upgrades but another useful feature that
might be relevant are the message identifiers in its headers that
allow you to easily track back through a thread, which I think might
be unique to Agent. You can also access the complete headers at the
touch of a button... which tells me you're currently using Chunderdird
(as is Sam and most other posters here).

Plus a host of other features too numerous to mention in detail with
the possible exception of killfiles, since it makes a joke of those
who chop and change their handles, presumably in an attempt to avoid
being killfiled (Sam and others might take note). Agent can filter on
any unique feature in the address line. It also has the option not to
download messages from the server whereas others merely mark them
read. Noting that I've _never_ killfiled a regular poster to this ng
but the occasional drop in trolls don't get past the server.

It recognises truncation marks (which is a PITA when other newsreaders
ignore them). It also instantly identifies cross posts. :)

Etc, etc.

How topical. My fabulous, but ancient and decidely fragile, 40tude Dialog
crashed (again) this morning. Been using it last century, which was also
when it was last updated, so I won't recommend it, which is a shame as it'd
satisfy your requirements and then some. As Dialog does, you could use a
reader that 'scores' every poster you choose, eg, 'felix = 10', then all
your posts stick out like dogs. Or you can simply colour your posts
differently to the rest.

Suspecting that the end of Dialog is near. Very near.

Well worth paying for and getting the current version if you're a
regular user.

Indeed I am, but only because Forte don't have a version of Agent for
Mac or Linux, and they aren't going to create one, yes, I asked them.
I've been a registered user of Agent since, forever. I have one of the
lowest user registration numbers too. I'm even worse off with iOS and
PadOS but, though I did find a workable client, full featured it ain't!

I never even went close to using all the features in Agent but I did
find it easy to use once you had set it up the way you liked.

mutt can do it by using a positive killfile rule on references header
against a distinctive message-id domain name.

A thread in another group has been complaining aboui it having
a hell of a capacity to crash and take out some of the messages.
