[Nemesis]

XPN (X Python Newsreader XPN) is a multi-platform newsreader with
Unicode support. It has features like scoring/actions, X-Face and Face
decoding, muting of quoted text, newsrc import/export, find article and
search in the body, spoiler char/rot13, random taglines, and
configurable attribution lines.

You can find it here:

This is mainly a bug-fix release.
Any feedback or help is really appreciated.
If you want to translate XPN in your language you'll find the XPN.pot
file inside the "lang" directory.

New in the release:
* v0.4.6: improved speed in article retrieving.
* v0.4.6: added an indicator of unread articles in thread, now you don't have to open
the thread in order to know if it contains unread articles.
* v0.4.6: now the "CANCEL" works again, and "SUPERSEDE" lets you re-edit the original
article text.
* v0.4.6: fixed some pygtk issues, now XPN works correctly also with pygtk2.6 (and GTK2.6)
* v0.4.6: fixed a bug in the "Edit Mail" window that caused some errors when closing
the window.
* v0.4.6: now the Error Dialog is shown also when XPN isn't able to start (thanks
to Antonio Valentino).
* v0.4.6: fixed some issues with shelve module that caused problems on some FreeBSD systems.
* v0.4.6: some improvements in the french translation (thanks to Patrick Lamaiziere)
* v0.4.6: some changes in the "raw view" management.
* v0.4.6: changed subversion

Wow, nice work!

I'm using Thunderbird and am very happy with that, but
looking quickly at your website it seems that XPN is a very
nice application. Will it work on windows? It's not
immediately clear to me...

Mentre io pensavo ad una intro simpatica "Irmen de Jong" scriveva:

Yes of course. You have thre options on Windowns:
1) You have already installed Python + GTK + pyGTK.
In this case just use XPN source version.
2) You have installed GTK but not Python (I don't think this is your
case ^__-).
In this case you can use the binary version without GTK (the one
large 2 MByte).
3) You don't have GTK and Python.
In this case simply use the binary version (the larger one).
