The newsreader part is straightforward for any normal sane person (unlike the former reviewer) and contains all I need to follow technical discussions on Usenet. One have for instance the unique feature of graphical thread display and a nice if somewhat demanding Kill or Tag function.

I still haven't found any newsreader that can stand up to MacSOUP, whether on old Mac OS or in the Unix world, when it comes to saving my time and sanity.

The usenet section seems to be OK, nothing desirable, but quite confusing, rigid, a big mess with missing features and often nearly as strange as the author. Anyways, it is also called a mailer, and this section is entirely rubbish. This means under the scoreline, not worth the download.

try the X version. I loved the old version. It's by far the best newsreader for following disscussions, but it's not ideal for downloading binary attachments. The multiple news server feature is not especially smooth either. I would love to see more AppleScript support so that I can automate archiving articles. Right now, scripts can't access the database nor dispose of articles.
