Hi Hartwig,

There aren't many free/quality Mac newsreaders, but I might suggest MT
Newswatcher (http://www.smfr.org/mtnw/) or Thoth if you can get a hold of a
copy. The creator of Thoth discontinued development of the reader, but you can
probably request a copy in one of the mac application newsgroups.

Alternately you might consider one of the following readers...

Thunderbird - http://www.mozilla.org/download.html
Hogwasher - http://www.asar.com/
Unison - http://www.panic.com/unison/

Hope the info helps, and good luck!

Michael

If you simply want a current (security wise) version of Netscape, give
SeaMonkey a try. It should pick up your existing NS profile. (The
paranoid will make a backup of the profile first, of course!)

It is likely more efficient to use a program dedicated to the task
than to use a browser for newsreading.

Just a thought.
Happy computing,
