Product Description:
Unison is a carefully-crafted, genuinely revolutionary Mac OS X Usenet newsreader. It offers all the expected newsreader functionality: easy-to-navigate threaded discussions, the ability to ignore annoying posters, multiple signature management, and easy, Mail-like posting with spell checking and all the trimmings.
But it also goes much, much further than any other Usenet client on earth, starting with a unique four-view interface that lets you view and work with Usenet group content in four distinct styles: messages, files, images, or music. It lets you preview MP3 files directly off a Usenet server, view images in an elegant iPhoto-like thumbnail view, prioritize transfers with a flexible downloads manager, find favorites quickly with a categorized column-view interface, smartly group files into meta-groups (like songs into albums), show download status beautifully in the dock, and much more. Phew!
What's new in this version:
- Partially read threads now show all messages when read messages are hidden
- Default socket timeout increased from 30 seconds to 90 for better server compatibility
- Fixed problem with groups launched from nntp:// links loading headers five times
- Fixed the drop-down list in the "Go To Group" sheet
- Added new preference for always showing first message in threads when read messages are hidden
- Marking messages and files read no longer deselects them when showing read items
- Fixed problem where new files aren't added to an existing group when they should
- Completed downloads are no longer listed as "queued" after doing "retry all"
- Downloaded files with non-ASCII filenames have proper encoding now
- Cached images in images view are no longer cleared on next launch
- Continuation lines in headers are parsed correctly now
- Image folders now draw right side up on Tiger
- Selected images now draw darker on Tiger
- Clearing lots of downloaded files from download view is much faster

Macman2004I used to use 1.8.0 and the SSL crashing bug used to drive me crazy, but after downloading 1.8.1 it works like a dream now.
On a side note, has anyone managed to get it working through a proxy/SOCKS setup? Just curious as I heard it is possible...
The program is a little pricey, but it is definitely worth it.
Cheers!

The only thing I would change is the way that filters are handled. I would like for them to be not just highlighted, but sorted to the top of the page, prioritized. The kill filter did not seem to work at all though.
It's totally worth the price. I just love it.
