Newswatcher. http://www.smfr.org/mtnw/

It is freeware and is easy to use. You make up a list of groups that you
wish to view, and it keeps track of read and unread.

BTW, this is for a Mac. If I had the finances I would go for a Mac, but with
living on a fixed income, you all know how it is.

Now there is the question for the night.

SMFR is Simon Fraser University.

I was using that link earlier on to snag an earlier copy of
MT Newswatcher to see if there was any way I could solve this
Yenc thingy.

Annnnnnnndddddddd..... I just clicked on the link and got a message
that says the attempt to load the page failed.

I also bookmarked the page and it too fails to load.

So there is the head scratcher for the day.

You're getting redirected, because:

"Firefox can't find the server at www.smfr.org."

A DNS lookup showed the domain (in Sunnyvale, CA) to be valid until 2011,
so it might be temporarily down.

However, if you want the OSX version, here 'tis......:
