    Hello,

    MacCaf|-, 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 macCaf|- is available at this address: <http://mc.yakakwatik.org/regex/en/>.
    It can be accessed directly from MacCaf|-.

    - 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 MacCaf|- 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
    rCyImportant Read first.rtfrCO file included in the download archive, which contains other important information.

    [...]

    Just a side note for the optional header field "User-Agent":
    |
    | User-Agent: MacCafe/3.03/blue mountain (macOS 10.14.6 (18G9323) - iMac13,1)
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    The marked part looks like a syntax error.

    Syntax-Definition from RFC 5536: <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5536#section-3.2.13>
    |
    | user-agent = "User-Agent:" SP 1*product [CFWS] CRLF
    | product = [CFWS] token [ [CFWS] "/" product-version ]
    | product-version = [CFWS] token

    For <token> RFC 5536 uses a reference to RFC 2045: <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2045#section-5.1>
    |
    | token := 1*<any (US-ASCII) CHAR except SPACE, CTLs,
    | or tspecials>
    | tspecials := "(" / ")" / "<" / ">" / "@" /
    | "," / ";" / ":" / "\" / <">
    | "/" / "[" / "]" / "?" / "="
    | ; Must be in quoted-string,
    | ; to use within parameter values

    A parser should detect "MacCafe" as first <product> and "3.03" as
    the associated <product-version>.

    The second "/" would be allowed after a second <token> for a second
    <product>, but not as additional <product-version> for the first
    <product>.

    Interpretation of "3.03/blue mountain" as <product-version> is not
    allowed because "/" cannot be part of <token>.

    Thanks for this comment, which I'll pass on to the MacCaf|- developer.

    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.

    No, MacCaf|- doesn't offer this feature.

    It is possible to install MesNews on macOS via Wine. I've done it on my
    Mac using WineBottler, and it works fine.

    What kind of statistics would you like to generate?
