Good to know it works. I might switch back to MTNW......

Well, it loads the groups but not the messages
I just export it from MacSoup... maybe it works 100% for MT-NW?

Since NewsTap can import and export newsrc, and since MTNW can transfer
newsrc, theoretically it would be possible to synchronize them. Whether
it actually works between those two programs or how long it takes, or
if it is worth the effort is something I can't answer since I don't use
MTNW.

I guess you could create a separate group window with just the select
few newsgroups.

For my personal use I mainly want to read one newsgroup on the iPhone
if I am away from home a while and I don't have my Macbook Pro with me.
I don't think syncing is a major need for my use. What I do before
leaving home is catch up on the one newsgroup on my Mac and mark all
the posts as read on the iPhone. And vise versa when I get home.

To me, selecting text is a precursor to copy and paste.

Being able to highlight a text selection to be copied to the reply is
cut/copy and paste.

No, because the application doesn't actually put the selected text on
the clipboard. The clipboard isn't used at all in that case.

That said, text selection is certainly necessary for copy and paste to
work.

Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.
E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM
filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting
messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google
Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts.
