Product Description:
MT-NewsWatcher is a Usenet news client for the Macintosh. Usenet is a globally distributed news network over which many thousands of people distribute messages every day, and which contains discussion groups on virtually every topic under the sun. MT-NewsWatcher allows you to quickly and efficiently target the articles you wish to read, with sophisticated yet easy to use filtering, searching and sorting features. The program also makes viewing and saving binaries from newsgroups easy, and works transparently across multiple news servers. MT-NewsWatcher is derived from an earlier program called simply "NewsWatcher", by John Norstad of Northwestern University, but greatly enhances that program's feature set.
What's new in this version:
- Fixed a crash closing subject windows after rebuilding the full groups list.
- Fix an issue where Extract Binaries would sometimes stall after choosing a destination folder.
- Clear the news server authentication password field when switching between news servers.

- Mac OS X 10.5 Intel

Way too many little windows. Ugly interface, reminds me of OS9 applications.

Always corrupts its preferences file.
Always corrupts its article database file then takes 10 minutes to launch.
Cannot read many Yenc posted articles that MT-newswatcher 3.2 actually could.
Its free software but its only updated once per Presidential term, so live with the bugs or wait till 2008 for another version.

Now just one item remains on my "please fix" list.
I browse a lot of anime newsgroups. Some class of image found in them breaks MT-NW's built in viewer--the display routine simply bails, resulting in the display of a blank image.
But other images display just fine. I haven't any theory yet about what characterizes the troublesome images. If it would be useful to you, I could investigate further. (I used to work in Mac software QA, and so have some relevant experience)
Let me know if you would find this useful.
