I've been using Newswatcher in its various incarnations for years, and am impressed with its quality--especially considering the price! The expansion of its mail functions in 3.5.2 to handle more modern servers solved a problem for which I'd been forced to use cumbersome workarounds for ages.
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.

I think it is a JPEG 2000 issue. That is, I don't think MT-NW can decode JPEG2000 images, so just displays a blank.Reply to This
