Thunderbird does both email and newsgroups.

I know. If my interpretation of your post is correct, you
indicate that Opera is not particularly designed for Usenet, as
it adds the function as a feature of the Email client. Therefore
it is less desirable.

I don't know anything about Opera. I have no idea whether it does a
wonderful or terrible job with usenet.

However the same applies to Thunderbird. So I don't understand
why you suggested this as a Usenet client to switch to when, as
I posted, there is a range of free Newsreaders to choose from.

There are many products that combine email and usenet clients. But
again, I don't use Thunderbird and don't know whether it's wonderful,
terrible or something in between. It's a free email/usenet client and
lots of people use it and like it.
