`Xnews' for windows (delphi!) achieves this by having local Archives and Queues (archives store headers + body; queues store only headers). It's great for this purpose (permanently archiving useful text articles) and also building up an easier-to-read queue of stuff to download if you're scanning a variety of binary groups. I've yet to find anything I like as much as xnews for debian - so I stopped reading usenet instead :( Thanks for a good article on your usenet usage : I was particularly interested in the various features of gravity, a program I have never tried. -- Jon Dowland http://jon.dowland.name/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
