I've already looked at thor, which is nice, but just to damn slow and hammers 
the hard disk like crazy when you've got about 1000 messages or more in a news 
group.  It's UUDecode support was poor too.  Netscape lets you view files in 
messages on the screen, rather than having to extract them, view then etc...  
Very handy.

What's UMS like for on-line browsing ?? does it have it ? As thor makes a crap 
online broswer.  MNews is a better online reader but is not finished and 
crashes most of the time :-(
