Portable Usenet news reader/client

Question

I'm looking for a Usenet newsgroup reader/client for Windows that saves everything to its own directory.

I'm aiming at a dedicated newsreader only. No "mixed" programs like Outlook, Thunderbird or the like which usually don't have as many features that specialized newsreaders do.

Wanted features: watch thread, keep thread, ignore thread/subthread, easy and distinctive reply organisation

Give Pan a try, you can grab it as a zip to extract anywhere. Available for Linux and Windows.

There is also FastTrackNews.

Forté Agent might do what you want. When I used it, a previous version, it didn't use the registry at all, but saved everything into its data directory.
