MagicNews, the mailer/news client for the Amiga.

MagicNews, the mailer/news client for the Amiga.
All concept, design and programming by Bahman Moallem.

Please read this FAQ before you ask me anything about this program:

Q: Why did you started programming MagicNews in the first place?
A: I could not find any integrated mailer/news client that satisfied my needs so I just had to make one myself ;)

Q: Can I become a beta tester?
A: No, thank you for your interest in MagicNews. I do not need more testers for the program at the moment.

Q: Is MagicNews the same program as mNews?
A: No. mNews, the online news client (a damn good one) is programmed by John Brooks. MagicNews is programmed by Bahman Moallem.

Q: Does the word Magic in the program's name imply that MagicNews is a MUI program?
A: No. MagicNews does not use any external GUI-engine for its GUI.

Q: Are you going to release MagicNews as shareware?
A: No. I have put a tad too much of my time into this program to release it that way. It does not make sense to develope it further for a few registred users. Contact me for details if you are an Amiga publisher and want to market MagicNews commercially.

Q: What are the strengths of MagicNews?
A: For the first it works and it does it damn good (can you say the same thing about the news client that you are currently using?). It has a flexible and user configurable GUI. MagicNews is completely Amiga User Interface Style Guide Compliant. The strength of the program is mainly in its ability to handle usenet articles. It does a damn good job in filtering and cleaning up news articles. You can learn it how it should handle articles. The way I have it configurered for my own needs, it can create 400 KB of important articles out of a news packet of 6 MB.
