MesNews kan de verschillende berichten die geplaatst worden op usenet groepen zonder problemen tonen als platte tekst of html. Het programma ondersteunt connecties met meerdere servers die vervolgens ook in een boomstructuur weergegeven kunnen worden. Daarnaast worden de standaard decodings ondersteund zoals Base64 en yEncoded. Wie nieuwsgierig is geworden naar het uiterlijk van dit programma kan op deze pagina een kijkje nemen. Versie 1.5.0.0 is sinds kort beschikbaar met de volgende veranderingen:
Toolbars:Message rules:
- The serverbar can be showed on more than one rule
- The central bar can be showed on two rules
- In the central bar (Screwdriver\Textformat\Image view) you can choose to view the first image always (automatically)
New functions:
- A new filter which can be applied to an amount of rules
- Possibillity to apply a color to a particular column (name, subject etc)
- Rules can be applied to only one server
- Rules can be applied to all messages, only the startpost or only the answers (in a few words)
Updated functions:
- New sound for synchronized groups in the background
- Added a new icon to refresh all the groups. (behind the refresh button refresh selected groups)
- Center the selected message/element in the message-tree
- Added a checkbox in grouplist which allows you to open the selected group directly after you closed the grouplist window
- Possible to decode the field "From" if the name contains some other non US-ASCII characters (you can disable this in File>Settings>Advanced, tab expert)
Removed functions:
- An updated spellcheck before sending a message
- Set the time (in ms) before a message is marked as 'read' in the tree
- Possibillity to exclude signatures and formulations from a search
- You can change the position of the 3 windows from MesNews into 51 different configurations
- The screen "about" contains now some colors in the tab News and Thanks. Not very useful but it looks nice :-)

Fixed Bugs:
- Removed the icon for ICQ
Comment: MesNews won't tell that there is a new version available.
- "Re:" will be added even when the "Re:" in the subject is decoded
- Fixed the seperator which stayed in the server-tree when it was removed
