Mac OS newsreader utilities
I hope you will try Giganews or UsenetServer for your news subscription -- especially as a holiday present for your friends, family, or yourself!
Support this site:
- NewsHunter 3 "NewsHunter3 is an online/offline news reader that supports real time article queueing, 'virtual servers', automatic or manual assembly and decoding of binary files including yEnc. The Server List window monitors all news readers. This means you can reduce NewsHunter3 to a single window which displays all activity for all connections."
Utilities:
- Internet Config 2.0.2 used by most newsreaders (in fact by most internet clients of whatever sort).

- Online X-Face Convertor
- Saving Face by Simon Fraser lets you create and display X-Faces. MacSOUP, MT-NW and YA-NW will display incoming X-Faces. X-Faces are
headers in messages that contain small graphic images. Thus different users can have different images associated with them.
- SlashDock "is a simple Mac OS X Application that fetches and updates headlines for the lastest postings on slashdot -compatible sites and RSS-compatible sites (aka RDF) like BluesNews.com . Updates are obtained automatically, if new articles are available, the dock icon will flash with an image representing the article 'topic'.

Eudora nicknames from YA-NW/MT-NW messages. Thanks to John Delacour for the
crucial parts of the nickname script.
