There are a couple of sites I'm aware of where one can find such
utilities, but I have no idea if all of the links are valid:

I don't know. I know that the OS/2 VSoup has some advantages over the
OS/2 Souper (mainly various ways to filter things, and also multiple
nntp connections), but you're using that Windows thing. :-)

I ask people who send me such e-mail to please turn it off.
