Stupid News Group Question
« on: June 11, 2002, 08:59:29 am »
I have a question, I currently use Outlook express to go through newsgroups. There are all these messages that have the binary file imbedded in them. I can't find a way through outlook express to get these files. Is there a free peice of software that can split this out and download the file or is there a way to configure outlook express to get these files. Any help is appreciated.

Do yourself a big favor and toss Outlook Express.  Go get a real news reader such as Agent.  It will handle the binary attachments MUCH better.

Use Xnews.  It is good but not immediately self explanatory -- read its instructions.
