For folks that don't need all of the flexibility of a full newsreader program, Paul Alsing has pointed out novaBBS. This simply allows you to read RMCR, to reply, and to start new threads. For many people that is enough!

There is nothing to install or configure, and no ability to customize. You would just register by providing an email address, then choose rec.music.classical.recordings from the list of "Arts" newsgroups.

I (of course) did a quick search to see if there is any viruses, trojans, or other malware associated with this site - but don't trust me. I've only used it for an hour so there could be problems or issues.

But it looks like it works well enough - please use it to post often!

If you want to search old articles, check out narkive.com, but the
interface there is definitely a work in progress.... Both of these
guys post to the news.* groups, and seem sincere in what they do,
i.e. try to make things easier for people to communicate in plain
text online. But do expect things to be in flux, including -- I'm
sure -- more web portals appearing.

But he's not allowing posting. There's a neat little histogram
right on that page showing RMCR volume over the years. Feel free
to be bummed out by it....

Do any of the usenet services support including
inline photos, videos or music files in articles?
Thx
