I remember years ago that I was able to do using Netscape. However it does not seem that Safari has this option. I would like to follow a couple of groups.

Wow, it was so easy. I never though about this. When I tried to enter a news address in Safari it did not allow me.
Anyway, thanks!

I would recommend Thoth too. Before Mac OS X, I used to use MT-Newswatcher. But now with OS X, Thoth does the job.

You should check out one of the best news reader around which is not listed AFAIK on versiontracker, It's available here: http://home.snafu.de/stk/macsoup/.
If you're on dial-up you can read the news with this product. It's one of the most used in france by mac users. It's a shareware and it's not crippled even when you're done with the test period.

Check out Halime, it's cocoa based and is an amazing piece of software, very clean, fast and powerul too.

Rockstar Games - better than reality.

I also use Thoth. It's a continuation of YA-Newswatcher, and once you're used to it, there's no going back.

MT-NewsWatcher handles yenc natively - you don't need third party helper apps.
I love MT-NewsWatcher. However, the speed is abysmal (filtering, particularly) and there are many interface glitches. Simon just doesn't support it much anymore...
