I thought about just using my local Win8.1 laptop via remote desktop 
and using Windows Live Mail since it is OK, but in the end I really use 
the MacBook Pro a whole lot more than anything else and it would be 
awkward to RDP into my Win8.1 box from away from home!  :)

And I agree, for the bugs that Unison has that don't interfere with the 
way I use a usenet client, it is more than good enough.  And I am 
really liking the interface.
