GoodNews is a Mail- and Newsreader for the Universal Message System (called UMS from now on).

As IntuiNews's authors had the kindness to give us the sources of their program, we decided to go ahead with developpement.

At first time, we added or corrected the details that we personnaly found more important for a comfortable use. But the suggestion list remains long and open... :-)

GoodNews was especially designed for easy use. The user interface was created with MUI and complies fully to the Amiga User Interface Style Guide. Nearly all functions can be invoked via keyboard shortcuts to make a fast usage possible.

This way novices should learn easily how to use GoodNews and experts should be able to read mail and news comfortably and efficient.

Because GoodNews is not designed for a special network it doesn't support special network features like Fido file requests. We don't support such network specific stuff and won't do so in the future.

For more information about MUI or UMS you should take a look at the respective documentations distributed with these packages.
