Very cool Greg. I have a stupid question though, when the messages are
broken up as they are in these types of groups, how do you retrieve them and
get them back on your computer in 1 piece?
TIA,
Brian

Probably wiser to ask over there where they answer the question every
couple of hours.

Brian,

With my XNEWS reader they appear as a single entity and download as such.
You can click on the package and retrb individual files, but then you have
to join them manually.

I use Grabit (www.shemes.com). Grabit looks at the headers of the
messages and shows them all combined as 'one post'. Some posts you'll
have to combine further if they consist of rar-files. You could use
winrar for this. This is all on windows btw.

It's a real newsreader, not something that does newsgroups on the side, and
does absolutely nothing well. It costs the same as Lookout Express, but it
works much better. Same thing for Pegasus - it's orders of magnitude better
than Lookout for email. They only do one thing, but they do them very well,
and collect no viruses while they do them. Most viruses only work in Outlook.
