Due to the high volume of messages in this mailing list, I prefer to read it via the newsgroup linux.debian.user using slrn. This works well for the most part. However, some messages (e.g. ones from Matthew Campbell) are MIME-encoded. I see appropriate headers:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 followed by a block of base64-encoded data. A second block sometimes appears, with Content-type: text/html. The message itself is unreadable unless I save the base64 data to disk and run the base64 utility on it. Is there a way to get slrn to decode MIME messages? I'm running Stretch on the laptop on which I read Usenet, and "slrn --version" returns the following: slrn 1.0.3 S-Lang Library Version: 2.3.1 Operating System: Linux COMPILE TIME OPTIONS: Backends: +nntp +slrnpull +spool External programs / libs: +canlock +inews +ssl +uudeview +iconv Features: +decoding +emphasized_text +end_of_thread +fake_refs +gen_msgid -grouplens -msgid_cache +piping +rnlock +spoilers -strict_from Using 64 bit integers for article numbers.
