E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.

Tell me about it. Hell, I flirted with Hogwasher as far back as 1999,
and even then it was stuck in a buggy state without a recent update. I
realise to run in OSX it has been updated since, but the trouble is
bugfixes are years apart. MacSOUP may be a bit odd and lacking in modern
polish, but it's far better than Hogwasher for text groups. Always has
been IME. Stefan Hallar always gets on top of serious bugs, and hasn't
left me hanging in nearly two decades!

I don't see a current web site for MacSOUP. 

Is the last release really from 2009? ::

Real men don't wash hogs or eat soup ... they use Thoth, the God of

I just downloaded Thoth from CNET. But I had to jump through a bunch of
hoops and deny a few dialog boxes. But it did download:

http://download.cnet.com/Thoth/3000-2164_4-6733.html

Not sure how it will work without a registration code or if it needs
one.

Better to click on the direct download link at the bottom portion of

You're nuts. CNET is well-known for adding adware & nagware to anything
you download from them.

Interstingly tho, the Thoth download from CNET lacked any of that tripe.  They
must not consider it a vector for any profit, so they didn't bother.

I pretty sure it's a time limited version (30 days?) until you enter
the registration code, although I registered the couple of old versions
I've used, so I don't know what happens when the demo time runs out ...
the problem is that it's no longer supported and the website no longer
exists to actually register it. Apparently the old registration codes
don't work in the newest version either.  :-(

Exactly what I ran into.  My code doesn't work with the newest Thoth so I set up
slrn and to get xface support I run slrn in an xterm with slrnface.  Works great
and does everything I need.

It's sad that Mac Usenet readers have all but gone the way of the Dodo.. :-/

Triple symmetry since many of the smart posters left long ago and the
place is now mostly full of those with the brains of a "dodo" (like
nospam and the other know-nothings). :-(

I'm just not willing to put up with xterm. I just run slrn in Terminal
without x-face support (even though I have an x-face defined, though
I've long forgotten what it is).

It's be nice if MTNW was updated, but there's been precious few good
news clients for the Mac. Let's see, MTNW and Cyberdog and... ???

Understood.. for the times I'm lazy I'll probably set up a slrn without the
import for the xface support..

Oh. and your X-Face is a Yin-Yeng
