[Ham-Mac] MT-NewsWatcher 3.4 available

Mon, 29 Mar 2004 06:42:17 -0600

FYI, I have been a MT-NewsWatcher fan for years and Simon just released a
new version.  I suggest you try it because it is a very nice Mac OSX
application that is useful and can be used. There are some good Mac and ham
radio newsgroups.

Subject: MT-NewsWatcher 3.4 available

I'm pleased to announce the release of MT-NewsWatcher 3.4! This is the
latest version of the free Usenet news client for Mac OS.

To download, go to the Downloading page:

   <http://www.smfr.org/mtnw/downloading.html>

MT-NewsWatcher 3.4 is available for both Mac OS X (10.2 and later
recommended), and for Mac OS 9.

This version has some exciting new features and fixes many bugs.
New features include:

 * Junk filtering

   MT-NW now has an adaptive junk filter that makes it much easier
   to filter spam out of your newsgroups.

 * Inline spell checking

   The native Cocoa spell checker is used to do spell checking as
   you type in message windows, complete with red underline.

 * Email address auto-complete

   The system Address Book is used to auto-complete email addresses
   as you type them in recipient fields.

 * Better error reporting when extracting binaries

   When batch-extracting binaries, extraction errors now go into
   a log window to avoid interrupting the extraction with dialogs.

 * Auto-extracting of downloaded files

   You can set preferences so that "safe" files that you download are
   automatically opened.

This version also contains many bug fixes and performance improvements.
For the complete list, read the version history:

  <http://www.smfr.org/mtnw/version_history.html>

For more information about the program and its features, see
the extensive online documentation:

Enjoy!
Simon
