#28510 — newsgroup reader?

New problem for me I know has been discussed here in the past. I follow
some bigger groups that I mostly delete on my laptop with MTNW. Stupid
Yosemite won't open that, either. I remember Unison being discussed here.
Is it any good? I can use the old laptop for that as well as graphics
editing for a while longer, but it IS a rather old laptop.

Your options if you want to stay away from terminal, are going to be 
Thunderbird or Unison. I use both and for the most part Unison will do 
the job. Filters are rudimentary but once built will work quite well. 
Most folks who lost MTNW (myself included) deride Unison, but it is 
there and for now it works. Bth are free so try them, you have nothing 
to lose.

Unison does work but can be quirky at times.  I use it for looking at 
images.  For some attachments, the firs time you look at them, they are 
screen-sized.  Good.  If you go back to look again, then can be about 
1/2 inch by 1/2 inch in size.  Not good.

The other thing it does is to save some images outside of the intended 
folder.  For example, if you're saving a picture of a 1955 Chrysler 
wagon to your Chrysler folder, the image file shows up outside the 
Chrysler folder with a title of "Chrysler.1".    If you change the 
suffix to .jpg, then it shows up as an image file with preview, and you 
also have to change the title to "1955 Chrysler Wagon", and then move 
into the folder.  It works, but it's a hassle.

Haven't run into any major quirks in text groups.

Do you HAVE to let it save images? I only want text.

It works just fine for text, just make sure you change the text 
encoding from the default *Western (ISO Latin 1)* to *Unicode (UTF8)* 
via the "View" menu.
As a note I prefer the older Unison 1.8.1 to the current and final 
Unison 2.2. All the releases are available here:

I don't know what's spinning over on the new laptop except that it' s
Unison and has been telling me it's downloading newsgroups all afternoon
now.  I tried quitting and restarting, but I guess I might as well trash it
at this point.  8-(

You can choose "save message", and it will save the text.  "Save 
Attachments" will save the image'.

It won't settle down and I can't find a way to refuse all images 8-(  
I'm about ready to trash it right now.

Refuse images? What are you talking about?

You don't seem to have very much patience...

It seemed to be telling me it wanted to download stuff that I couldn't
figure out. At any rate it's refusing to do anything but pretend to be
opening newsgroups and nothing else.  I don't really want to add the long
list to the iPad, but it's beginning to look like that or the old laptop.

Select an individual newsgroup in the sidebar and read in just the one. 
 Sounds like you've got lots of them. and have selected the entire 
folder in which they are placed.

Just a guess.

Other problems keep intervening. I'm still using MTNW on the old laptop.

Had to remember to go look. MTNW 3.5.2. and that's what I'm still using for
a much longer list of groups tha I have on the iPad. I have yet to find a
usable one for the new laptop with Yosemite.  Other more urgent problems
keep intervening.

OK, NOW what am I doing wrong? I have now slogged through installation 
and failure with Unison and Thunderbird multiple times.  In other words, 
I can’t contact the big list of them except with the old laptop, just as 
that’s the only place I can edit fotos.  If I can’t get simple binary 
newsgroups on the new laptop, I’m not about to trust it to edit fotos, 
much less destroy anything else on my iPad, so consideration of such 
programs is on indefinite hold..
 Both seem to agree that my initial settings are OK, as far as that 
goes, but Unison just spins multi-group logos endlessly and will not let 
me add a group manually, while Thunderbird gives me a space to type them 
in but won't let me do it. MacSOUP apparently wants money to even try.  
If the free ones won't open, I'm not about to pay for another failure.

I am not exactly sure of what it is you are actually doing with Unison. 
As with MTNW or any other Usenet client you first have to load the news 
groups your server has available, I am using Giganews these days, and I 
see you are using the same with MTNW, so you actually have a 
subscription to a server providing access to binary groups. There is 
nothing stopping you using giganews with multiple UseNet clients.

Are you trying to set up Unison with your eternal-september.org account 
or your news.giganews.com account?

I would give giganews a try.
Once you have that set up, from the menu go to *Group*->*Reload All 
Groups List*.
When that is done, and it should only be limited by the speed your ISP 
provides, start subscribing to the NGs you want.

In the column on the left select *All Groups*. You should see something 
like this:
<https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1295663/FileChute/screenshot_105.jpg>

That image shows simple navigation to comp.sys.mac.system. You can then 
select that as a favorite and it will join the list which you can 
rearrange as you please.
An easier way to find a particular group is to use th search function. 
Using that, when in the *All Groups* section, just type in the search 
window and you will be directed to the required goup. In this example I 
have searched for comp.sys.mac.apps. By the time I typed comp.sys.mac I 
didn't have to go further as I was presented with a whole bunch of 
groups with those characters in their names. I have selected a few by 
placing a green check mark in the box to the left of th name. That adds 
those to my subscription list.

It seems I took a screwy path to the wrong example group (I guess I was 
moving too fast). Try this:
