The News reader in Netscape 1.1N is as good as the main "separate" news reader, NewsWatcher, for the Macintosh, and has some added benefits. For example, URLs in News postings automatically show up as clickable items, which can be jumped to immediately. (Other News programs _could_ do this, and maybe some of them do, but not on the Macintosh, at this moment.)

I won't suggest that others change their favorite programs, but here are the facts: - -All URLs in Newswatcher can be accessed by cmd-clicking them. - -V.A. and Y.A. Newswatcher provides transparent use of anonymous remailers for both news and email. A feature that most cypherpunks will appreciate and that Netscape does not provide. <ftp://mirrors.aol.com//pub/info-mac/comm/tcp/ya-newswatcher-20b28.hqx> - -In Macs with InternetConfig <ftp://mirrors.aol.com//pub/info-mac/comm/tcp/internet-config-11.hqx> and the latest ICeTEe extension <ftp://redback.cs.uwa.edu.au//Others/Quinn/Config/InternetConfig1.1.sit> installed, all programs that use TextEdit, such as Eudora and SimpleText, become browsers that allow instant access to any URL mentioned in the text just by cmd-clicking on it. Netscape doesn't even come close. - -- - -- Lucky Green <mailto:shamrock@netcom.com> PGP encrypted mail preferred. - --- [This message has been signed by an auto-signing service.
