The Macintosh habit is, rather than have one program which does
everything, to have one program for mail, one for news, one for FTP,ur
etc..  Personally I like Apple's own Mail program a lot and I use
a very old copy of Fetch (version 3) for FTP.  There's a lot of
argument about what usenet programs are good.

I think you could profit from reading uk.comp.sys.mac, since that's
where most Macintosh Demonites hang out.  That group has more or less
supplanted this one unless your problems are purely to do with Demon.
