    Hello,

    MacCafé, newsreader for macOS, has been updated to version 3.03. It can
    be downloaded from the website address given in my signature.

    New features include:

    - The use of RegEx in message filters and searches (thanks to Alan B for
    suggesting this!). A 'beginner' documentation specially written for
    using RegEx in macCafé is available at this address:
    <http://mc.yakakwatik.org/regex/en/>.
    It can be accessed directly from MacCafé.

    - Optional replacement of the most common emoticons with the
    corresponding emojis when reading a message.

    - The ability to automatically check whether a new version of MacCafé is
    available.

    - Options for displaying an alert if you reply to an old message or one
    that is missing from the active server.

    Various bugs have been fixed, and the documentation has also been
    updated.

    As recommended before any update, it is advisable to have a backup of
    your data (the database folder). You are also advised to read the
    ‘Important Read first.rtf’ file included in the download archive, which >> contains other important information.

    [Follow-Up to news.software.readers.]

    Many thanks for the update :)

    Is there a possibility to compute (monthly, say) statistics
    for selected newsgroups? More generally, can any newsreader
    on the Mac do such a thing? I know Mesnews and Xananews can,
    but they are Windows based.

    What kind of statistics would you like to generate?
