Product Description:

Thoth is a newsreader from the author of YA-NewsWatcher. Thoth starts out with the many useful features of YA-NW and further enhances and builds upon them to include an attractive user interface, power-user preferences, automatic FAQ retrieval, queued article and header downloads, quoted text coloring, reference-based article threading (with a handy view of the thread available while you're reading its posts), multi-threaded connection to the news server (up to 4 connections), sophisticated filtering with regex support, comprehensive multiple character set support, binary posting and built-in binary viewing, finely integrated support for multiple news servers - and hundreds of other small features too numerous to mention here.

What's new in this version:

  • Fixed a problem with inline movies and music attachment not auto-deleting when they should when the delete trashed files option was enabled.
  • Made a change to try to work around an OS X bug in date formatting on some systems.
  • Made some changes to handle bugs and quirks in OS X's handling of collapsed (minimizd, docked) windows.
  • Fixed a problem that could cause a crash in certain circumstances when opening an article with an attachment.
  • Fixed a problem with renaming a uu or yEnc decoded file with a long filename if there was already a file of the same name.
  • Changed how unique filenames are created under OS X to preserve file extensions (i.e. what would previously have been named "duplicate.jpg.02" is now named "duplicate-02.jpg".
  • Fixed a problem introduced in 1.5.6 with updating the unread list for a newsgroup when opening an article list window for a specified range of posts and there are no posts in that range on the server.
  • Fixed the problem of not being able to enter certain characters for the name of a newsgroup setting.
  • Made some changes to work-around problems when sending email when a bad (usually home) home network configuration generates invalid reverse name lookups.

Am about to finally upgrade to Leopard and a new Intel Mac, so I'm really glad to hear that my favorite newsreader has a version updated for that system. I really appreciate the continued updates.

...saw I bought this in early 2002 for $25.00.

Regardless, Brian has been supporting this application for more years than than and I've had use of the best Mac newsreader for more than 7 years for only $25. I just sent him another $25 because Thoth is worth it, and maybe 1.9 will appear for real. I understand burnout... rather than criticism, I'd rather pass on encouragement.

Thoth ReviewNot much progress... - Version: 1.8.4, 5/31/2009 08:31PM PST

... since the developer first released Thoth 1.8.4 more than a year ago. That's right, not even a point upgrade in more than a year. And still no Universal Binary.
I'm a registered user who used to recommend Thoth, but the developer doesn't seem to care about it any more. So paying for this app at this time just doesn't strike me as a smart use of funds.
The freeware MT-Newswatcher is almost as good as Thoth, and the shareware app Unison has left it in the dust.
