    Congratulations on your personal solution. Others may have
    different needs, or perhaps we just want a new toy to play with.

    I welcome the fact that people are still prepared to develop Usenet
    clients :) MacCafé is coming along quite nicely but needs, for example, a >> bit more work on filtering.

    My my, a bit more work on filtering, really?
    They have been mucking around with it for over four years,
    and it is already in its third major incarnation.
    The French forum for it has been filled almost completely
    with all the problems with it.
    (at a volume that is larger than ukcsm)

    Yet there are stil bugs in it,
    and it doesn't quite what users want it to do.

    Or well, maybe when they are up to version 5,

    First of all I doubt whether it will ever become my client of choice. I
    agree its development is taking rather a long time. Their use of the 4D database may be playing a large part in the delay? Having said that
    what's the harm in trying it out and providing a bit of feedback to the developers. Filters need to have a case insensitive option and the
    ability to use regex would be handy.

    You may remember that we exchanged some thoughts on it,
    after I introduced the then new MacCafe to ukcsm users.
    (yes, that was 53 month ago)


    I don't remember, but whatever. At that time I thought it a work
    in progress and decided to stop playing with it until it had more
    development.


    Have you had fun playing with it in the meantime?


    The elusive round tuit has not yet arrived

    At the time, someone in ukcsm (don't remember who)
    already said that the dependence on the 4D database
    is a fundamental (and probably fatal) flaw,

    I think it was 'nospam' who hasn't posted here or elsewhere for many
    months.
