  24. Yes, and has done ever since release. I can't remember if it had them
  25. before FreeNews or not, not that it really matters.

  27. > Does Newsbase do it reliably yet? That is a consideration.
  28.  
  29. Yes!
  30. When I added header only code during NewsHound development, both
  31. Graham and I spent quite a long time getting things working right in
  32. both NewsBase and NewsHound. Since that work, I don't remember there
  33. being any problems with either in relation to header only articles.
  34.  
  35. If anyone would like me too, I'll post a list of NewsHound's
  36. features. I can try and do the same for FreeNews too if it helps, but
  37. I don't really think I'm the best person to do this.
