Thanks for all you folks who replied to me regarding an off-line news reader.
I d/led slrn and configured it, but as a couple of you suspected it _doesn't_ support d/l of just headers and the picking of interesting articles. I can't afford to d/l all the newsgroups I keep up with - some of them have over 100 messages a day, so I'm still looking for a true off-line news reader like the one I have in Windows at the moment <g> I had another look at Netscape, but when I was off-line it seemed to want to go to the server everytime I selected a new newsgroup (or just clicked on it). This was rather annoying (understatement), but I might have had something not setup quite right - or NS doesn't really do off- line news reading.... If anybody else has any other suggestions I'll be glad to hear them...
