Pineapple News (was Pineapple) is a USENET newsreader for Mac OS X. It is primarily an offline reader, but it has features and user interface conventions that make it easy to use online also.

If an attachment is spread across two or more message files, it will automatically search through all downloaded messages in the current newsgroup, find the necessary parts, and stitch them back together. Currently, the program

Currently, the program can't deal with RARs, PARs, or NZB files, but I'll likely add support for them, if there is enough interest.

Pineapple demo doesn't work. Upon opening pineapple (demo) these two consecutive errors are returned:
An error occurred in PrefsManager.SotreArticleData()
Pineapple must now quit
An error occurred in App.WonderTwinsPowerDeactivate()
Pineapple must now quit.
Then the demo quits.
The 3 stars for features and ease of use are just presumptive. The value and stability of a software than fails to run, along with a developer's website that fails indicate a 1.
If the full implementation (not demo) work fine, then it would be nice to know more about it.
Software that doesn't work at all is usually found in the IBM-PC community; I would expect better in the Macintosh community.
