Newsgroups about Mac newsreaders:
"Mainstream" Mac newsreaders:
- Entourage is part of Microsoft Office 2001
- Hogwasher by Asar, Inc. does news and e-mail. "When is a 'free' newsreader not free? When it costs you money in download charges. Hogwasher is the only Mac newsreader to offer 'virtual servers': the ability to combine articles across multiple servers, thus saving you time and money. Hogwasher sets the standard for Mac newsreaders in both ease of use and power. Outlook Express users will appreciate it's optional multi-pane interface. And all users will appreciate it's email client and support of all common encodings including yEnc. OS X and Classic." If you use or have tried Version 4, let me know what you think of the text snippet feature!
