The newsgreader needs to support Encryption, Yenc on the fly, and reading and viewing images BEFORE download.
About encryption and Yenc on the fly you may wanna try Newsleecher. It can do that and more: automatic PAR2 repairing, RAR unpacking, etc...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21003998 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:38:44 EDT Re: Newsreader other than Agent? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21003709 anon :

You simply can't view images BEFORE download. They have to be fetched from wherever they are to your box so you can see them. This applies to browsers too - they can fool you into thinking that those small gifs and emoticons are only on the server, but all the images you see in any Web page are first downloaded to your TIF folder.

That's the way it works.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21003709 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 12:40:47 EDT Re: Newsreader other than Agent? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21002450 signmeuptoo : I still haven't found it guys. Darn, I wish I could get Agent to freaking work!

It seems every newsreader out there lacks one of the above things, WTH?

Thanks, does it let me read posts and view images?
Oh wait, I misunderstood. You want to view images WITH the newsreader instead of downloading them first. Grabit doesn't let you do that. My mistake.

and have found a slight preference for the latter, given its
powerful filtering capabilities. Although Giganews blocks a
lot of the spam that hits the text groups, some still slips
by. And it is good for dealing with the trolls that seem to
inhabit some groups.

But for binaries, XNews isn't all that good since it can't
handle NZBs, and tends to crash when a large number (>500,000)
of headers are downloaded.

It is somewhat of an agent clone in looks but does a few other things I like. It will do binaries and yEnc natively but I prefer Newsleecher for that. It does have an internal image viewer also.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20946438 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 18:28:02 EDT Re: Newsreader other than Agent? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20945412 anon : Grabit is good for only one use; nzb.

The gui is horrendous for headers, and it is a complete mess. And no, it will not let you view images.

Try Xnews. No nzb support, but otherwise the best gui along with in-program image viewing.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20945412 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 15:14:00 EDT Re: Newsreader other than Agent? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20942581 signmeuptoo : Thanks, does it let me read posts and view images?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20942581 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 01:49:07 EDT Re: Newsreader other than Agent? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20942055 fonzbear2000 : Grabit will do both of those and it's COMPLETELY FREE and has NO spyware or adware.
