I have tried a few different readers now, and none of them really clicked.
Usenet could perhaps be enhanced if I could only find the one...
Thunderbird, Pan, Agent, Newsbin, Unison, Hogwasher, Usenapp.
Mail integration that you can not hide, no dark theme, stuck in the dial up-era b la press enter/double click to retrieve messages, etc.
I have not bothered with the text-based clients.
Hm.
Usenapp.
They could rename it to something cool.
It costs money, but it is for macOS. :)
Okay, you are it!--- Synchronet 3.21a-Linux NewsLink 1.2

IIRC Thunderbird supports a dark theme if the system theme is dark too.

Did you check this?

I had not!
It is from another era, by the looks of it, and I am happy with Usenapp now.
Originally, MacCaf|- was aimed primarily at former MacSOUP users, hence
its old-fashioned interface. However, it now offers many features not
found in MacSOUP, some of which I've never seen in any other newsreader.
I had the opportunity to test the very first version of Usenapp, which
looked very promising. In my opinion, the main drawback of this
newsreader is that it's not free.
Why on Earth would a Mac user want to run 'Doze progs?
I do not know if the incentives are there, but it would be great if MacCaf|- was installable with Homebrew!

I have several Windows programs installed on my Mac (via Wine or in a
virtual machine), mainly newsreaders. As a beta tester of a newsreader
for macOS, I often need to know how an article posted with it looks in
other news clients, like MesNews or 40Tude Dialog.

As far as I know, Homebrew is intended for programs that cannot be
installed directly under macOS, which is not the case with MacCaf|-. So
what would be the point of this type of installation?
the best freeware newsreaders are 40tude Dialog and MicroPlanet Gravity;
both are full-featured, user-friendly, and fairly easy to setup and use, especially MicroPlanet Gravity which is also more up-to-date (2021-5-2):

I tried MicroPlanet Gravity on my Windows laptop that I use for programming, however I could not post:
441 Invalid syntax encountered in From header field body (unexpected byte or empty content line)
I checked and the "From"-field does have my information in it.
