You mean MT-NewsWatcher...it's the best one I've found so far. In my 
experience, Netscape/Mozilla are far too slow on this machine, and none 
of the other newsreaders are well-developed enough. It would be possible 
to get Pan running fairly integrated with OS X, but it's pretty buggy, 
it kept crashing on me.

Two things I don't like about MT-NewsWatcher: it doesn't keep messages 
locally, so finding old read messages is sometimes difficult, and the 
threading display is pretty minimal. I've seen other readers that use 
lines to indicate the threading instead of just indentation, it makes 
things easier to follow. There's also an annoying bug with command 
clicking URLs to open them in a web browser...sometimes it works, 
sometimes it says it can't find a helper program.

Still, it's fast, free, stable, has a clean UI...it runs great on my old 
Mac under OS X.
