OSXnews is a small, fast usenet newsreader for OS X. It is designed to look and behave like Apple's Mail program and uses it for all mail functions. It also uses the Webcore engine used in Safari to display messages. It is actively being developed and the current version supports many (though not all ) features people expect in a newsreader. OSXnews is a Universal Application and works well on the new Intel Macs. It also has some support for binary posts. At the moment this is limited to single part yEnc posts. Full support is expected in upcoming versions.

BUT, it doesn't handle article threading very well. I had all sorts of posts that should have been in the same thread strewn throughout.
Also, the second time I ran it when I clicked on the group I subscribed to the messages showed up briefly, and then disappeared, I couldn't get them back.
It looks nice, but it still needs some work.

I wish there were a filter to just show articles with the relevant title.
Excellent piece of software!

Might need some additional possibilities to manage the news, but let's wait and see...

Works great for browsing my newsgroups.
The only thing that it needs are more keyboard shorcuts for reading messages.

It would be much easier to use if there was a way to show only read messages. Or an otion to show read or unread messages.

I think should be a good idea change thi icons of "back" and "newsgroups".
Good app!
