What is going on?!

I've attached a simple text file to this message to see if the=20
newsreader I've just begun to use (Netscape 7.1's news reader) will=20
bring in an attachment.

Anyone knows the way to force the Outlook Express to not to download =
any posts with binary file attached from the news server?
=20
No, but Netscape won't download messages over a size I can set. By=20
setting this at 20 kb, for example, it would reject messages with any =
of=20
the usual viruses because they are larger than 20 kb. Perhaps Outlook=20
can also do this.


I have checked, and OE can't do that. I was trying to move to =
Netscape, or rather the Mozilla, and it works well, but it seems to be =
more convenient for ones who have a LAN or something like LAN =
connection. In case of modem user it hasn't a feature I desire very =
much: downoading all the new messages for offline browsing.

Thanks for Your input,

I use Netscape 7.1, which can be used to read messages off-line. Mozilla
probably can, too, since they are siblings. The menu items you use for
this a

File|Offline|Work Offline

File|Offline|Get Flagged Messages

You might also have to set some "Mail and Newsgroup Account Settings"
items (from the Mail window, not the Browser window):

Edit|Mail and Newsgroup Account Settings|Offline and Disk space

So, you can go online, get the subjects, go off-line, flag the ones you
want to read, go online, and get the flagged messages, go off-line, and
read at your leisure. That's how I do it when traveling with my laptop.
