I also experienced problems decoding files.  I got around this buy selecting 
articles offline, connecting to retrieve them, and uudecoding offline. 

I've used this for a while now, and I have mixed feelings about it.  I 
desperately want the offline reading & posting, but I also want to archive 
some groups and it seems like netsuite news deletes articles as soon as 
you've read them offline.

sigh...looks like I'll have to keep uqwk around.  If only there was a PM 
offline newsreader that supports the SOUP format.
