So what is the consensus for a newsreader to replace MTNW on Mavericks? Thoth, Unison, Hogwasher, something else? I'm trying Unison, and I'm not all that happy with it, but I guess that I could learn to live with it. I've downloaded Thoth, but haven't tried it yet; is it worth giving it a try? -- Michelle -- I'm a year older than I was exactly one year ago.

The setup is a bit more convoluted but otherwise it is very much what you are used to. I just paid for mine. I did buy Unison, and it is very nice in many respects. I really can't fault it for text groups, which is all I do. But in the end I'll probably end up using Thoth. -- Lloyd

Version 1.9.0.22, which is somewhere near the latest version, is going strong under Mavericks. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm

Got it yesterday in 'trial' version, went through the god-awful configuration and in the end it works wonderfully, just as it always did. So since I like to encourage software developers, I bought it just as I did with Unison the day before yesterday. Thoth is very MTNW like in many respects. Unison is a slicker interface, more in line with other OSX apps. Both are excellent! -- Lloyd

Let me go on a bit. Thoth, just like MTNW, breaks long links on other readers. Not a problem if you are only in Mac newsgroups, but for others it is an issue. Even Unison doesn't do that, but Unison definitely will see the link as broken. -- Lloyd

Broken links are not the biggest problem for most of us surely, or at least, they are easy to fix with a bit of cut and paste and backspacing and maybe a snip here and there. It is interesting to hear what programs folk are using to replace MTNW. -- dorayme

XPN which is Python based also works nicely, though at the moment I am using it from Linux. Like Pan and probably Claws-Mail it requires GTK for OS X, however one gets hold of that (Fink, MacPorts, Brew...?). -- Paul Sture

I used Thoth for many years, and keep it up to date as I still use if for some things. But I acclimated to Unison and it's so easy (despite some limitations) that I am now quite comfortable.

It has its quirks for sure, but it is quite good. Thoth is simpler to use for those coming from MTNW because of the similarities. It is quite powerful and configurable. I'm switching back and forth with Thoth and Unison as I try to figure out which will be the best for my use. At this point, both are equal for what I do. -- Lloyd

Thanks for mentioning that I can use Vim as my slrn editor. As a hardcore Vim user (use it all day long at work), your post got me to install slrn, and kludge together a config file (Google was my Friend :-) ). However, I think slrn really only suited for someone that enjoys the command line, as there is no mouse/trackpad action. Everything id done via the keyboard, and text editors. I guess if you really wanted, you could get things configured so that TextWrangler was invoked as your text editor via the TextWrangler command line tools, but you still have to wade through a lot of command line style configuration to get there. But since I'm loosing MT-Newswatcher, I think I can live with an slrn/Vim combo.

I'm still on 10.6 - but I guess that was never fixed? - Martin
