I've given up on Agent (even paid), neither Thunderbird nor Outlook
Express will handle multipart binaris, and Grabit is a great downloader
but a poor newsreader... so:

Surely there are newsreaders that will do what I need. But what?

Thanks.

XNews is a good choice if you don't need a spell checker.

You may also like 40tudeDialog

I use a combination of readers;

Agent for text groups
XNews to check binary groups and export nzb files
alt.binz (free version) to download nzb files exported by XNews

So you spent $29 (or used it during 30 days of trial) and now you're not
going to use it? What exactly is the problem?

sittingduck in NSR posted this last month:

It works perfectly for me, even in windows 7. Here are the instructions I
originally copied from XS11E...

Download Aspell and a dictionary from

http://aspell.net/win32/

Both are free. Install Aspell and the dictionary.

Then create a .bat file in the Xnews directory. Like this:

D:\Xnews\ASPELL\bin\aspell.exe -c -e -x --dont-backup %1

Then enter this as the "External Editor" in the Xnews setup under
the "Compose" tab.

C:\Xnews\Aspell.bat

Now, to spell check just click on the Ext. Edit button and it does
the spell check.
