NNTP is my "Go To" or "fallback" option.  In the resent
few days when I started to experience lockups and a couple of other issues
with OXP when it would not toss the .PKTs, firing up Thunderbird and using
NNTP allows me to catch up with missing echomail.

NNTP is a very fine solution for accessing echomail, but it does not add
any so called BBS-experience.

I must have used Sempoint only briefly in Win-DOS mode on my OS/2. Because,
I eventually discovered Fleetstreet reader for offline reading and stuck
with that. FleetStreet was very fine.
