Hi there, I'm using the NetNews stack 1.2.1 that came with the MacTCP 
toolkit and its rather nice (no Amanda we dont want another Ad saying how 
much nicer your product is).  But there is a little problem, in 
comp.binaries.mac and comp.sys.mac.digest the files are quite often more 
than 32k and this leads to the articles being truncated, has anyone found 
a way of storing such articles in 2 text fields ? I  am sure it could be 
done but I dont have the time to hack at it. It would make the stack a lot 
more usable.  Currently I have to read the header of a binary post and 
then drop back one level and use the save bodies as text option.  This 
only works if you only have the articles you want marked as unread, 
otherwise all teh current articles are saved.

Thanks [sorry Amanda:-)]
