- If you *must* download everything first then read instead of pick and choose then you
- are using a poorly written newsreader. Time to install a reader that can scan only headers
- and you pick what you want. If you are running on an Amiga/UNIX/PC etc. I can either
- find one for you or point you in the right direction to obtain one. There is absolutely no
- reason today why a news reader must download all messages first before you can do anything
- with them except for poor and sloppy programming or at best beginner programming.
- Let me know what you need.
