Multiple news servers can be used at the same time, with multiple connections per news server. Many preferences settings can be specified on a per newsgroup or per newsgroup hierarchy basis, making it easy to have the optimal settings for binary and non-binary newsgroups, newsgroups in different languages, etc. Its built-in decoder for file attachments handles the usual encoding methods including yEnc. Images from binary posts can be viewed inline, in a dedicated image window, or in an image catalog window. Binary posting is supported, as are multiple personalities allowing different email addresses, signatures, etc. to be used in different newsgroups or situations. There is full support for SSL connections to news and SMTP servers and NZB files and header compression.

I was a paying customer over a decade ago, then he withdrew Thoth from sale in a fit of temper and stopped updating it. Now he seems to have done the same thing again. Very unprofessional.

Unison seems to be the best of the rest (apart from the purely NZB-based readers such as NZBVortex). It was sluggish on my old MacBook, but is running well on my new iMac so far.

You know what, I don't need that from anyone. And so today I find myself fondly remember the application for what it was and still might be, a solid and good newsgroup client. But beyond that I refuse to try it again as long as the original author is tied to it. I'll take my money somewhere else where customer service is as important as the quality of code.
My review of the author is not the same as my opinion of the software.

What many do not realize is that Thoth was built on many preceding FREE apps in the NewsWatcher "family" -- MT-NewsWatcher, YA-NewsWatcher et al. The arrogant jerk who "owns" it did little more than port it from OS 9 to OS X.
I also was a paid user back when it was the only stable choice for OS X. I am now a happy Unison user, and would not ever consider giving another penny to the schmuck responsible for Thoth.

I tip my hat to him.
This is about version 1.9.0 of Thoth.
I've downloaded this update from all three locations. When Stuffit Expander processes the file, it produces nothing.

The solution is simple: uncheck the option to try to continue expanding in Stuffit expander, double click the .hqx to get the .zip and then you can double-click the .zip to get the app.
A bit tedious, but obviously a bug (one more :- ) in Stuffit expander.
