I guess it's time for me to put in a plug for Gnus, the Emacs
news/mailreader. It, of course, can download all the pieces of
binaries. It can do mime (with the addition of the TM package.) It
can do PGP. It does scorefiles, so it can sort articles by how
interesting you find them. It can adaptively score, learning what you
like. It can score on the number of newsgroups posted (as can many
other newsreaders, but it's surprisingly absent from many of the
popular ones.) It can munge articles in many interesting ways:
changing the timezone to match yours, wrapping articles with long
lines, hiding or coloring signatures, making URLs clickable and
starting the browser of your choice, etc.
It can also make mail look like newsgroups, so I read the redhat list
(and all the other 500 messages a day I get) in a scored, seperated,
threaded environment. Makes life nice.
