Why would you want to run ForteAgent under wine at all? There are
tons of great newsreader coming with most distro, IIRC there are
far more newsreader available running native on Linux then
M$-Windows nntp reader.

To me wine is always just a very last resort, at first I'd check
for Linux native apps. Here are some helpful comparison tables
concerning equivalent software:

Good luck
