as subject really. can anybody recommend a good newsreader?

i'm used to outlook express on the PC so something similar to that would be best. i tried macSOUP and didn't like it at all!

thanks,

i use iBlog, it's decent reader, and a blog publisher for .mac/webdav to boot, I also hear good things about NetNewsWire

I don't do much Usenet these days, but I still use the old standby, MT-NewsWatcher (which was popular on OS9 for many years, and has come through the OSX transition fairly well). I've heard many people say good things about Halime, though. And if you have Mozilla or Netscape, its newsreader gets the job done, though it's not to everyone's taste.

Heh, when I bought iBlog, I had a heart attack. It's $19, and they charge you 912 Indian Rupees (equals $19 USD). That I didn't pay attention to until I got the the confirmed payment screem, where it said I spent $912. So, after four quick emails to the developer, I re-read the page, and understood the mistake. It was kinda funny until I told my wife I spent $912 on a shareware app

MT NewsWatcher works just dandy for me.

Try Thoth.

Check out Pan. Its an x11 app but I found it to be pretty swell.

Cheers!

I registered Thoth and have been very happy with how it works. Worth the money!
