Yeah I'm using MT-NewsWatcher 3.5.3b3 on my MDD, I used to use

remember why but it was probably because MT was still being
developed after YA gave up the ghost.
 

Yes, though YA-NW ended after the developer Brian Clark, had created
Thoth, which became a popular Mac shareware newsreader.

Thoth, although good, being a time limited $$trialware didn't really
appeal to me, when MT-NW was easily as good (and free). I didn't see
the advantage.

There was also a short-lived VA-NewsWatcher (Value Added-NewsWatcher)
but it didn't develop much further than beyond it's initial release.
