CommunityMate is new solution for communities reading which periodically polls your communities and notifies you once any new posts are detected. The program lets you subscribe groups you're interested in, and will track new posts only in those groups. You can specify various conditions, such that it will notify you if any posts are detected in any topics, your topics, or in any specified by you. It works with Usenet communities (newsgroups) as well as HTML-based forums. It provides such features as Custom schedule for each community, offline viewing, and a wide range of generic communities features (posting, posting with quotes, replying by email etc.), as well as the possibility to poll only selected topics or topics made by you. This program supports various charsets, and can be limited to download only certain number of lines from Usenet posts. It works through HTTP proxy and lets you create your own black lists to ignore posts from unwanted senders.
