I've been using Unison.  It works pretty well but has some strange 
behaviors when saving attachments.  for example, when saving a picture 
to a folder titled "Ferrari", it will save the attachment outside the 
Ferrari folder and name it, "Ferrari.1".  Then you have to change to 
the correct filename and add ".jpg".  It works out OK but is a 
nuisance.  Other than that, it seems to be OK.   Much preferred MT-NW, 
though.

I used Unison for a while, but found it awkward, and I missed all the
keyboard shortcuts.  I've gone back to using Thoth, which amazingly
still works.  I paid for it quite a few years ago.

Thoth and its earlier cousins MT-Newswatcher and YA make it so easy to
read newsgroups as you don't have to use a mouse to navigate, opening
groups and reading messages.  I hope it doesn't stop working.

Did a version for Intel iMacs ever come out?  I just have the PPC version 
on my old G4.
