NewsGrazer RTF format puts an ASCII version of any text at the top of  
the post right where anyone can read it. This is followed by a  
uuencode section, which can be easily skipped if you happen to be  
reading net news on a dinosaur.

$, shouldn't be too hard to cook up an rtf-to-ascii for people
$ with non-NeXT screens on their laps, and they're way more  
searchable
$ and indexable than a big blob of uuencode.

With NewsGrazer, you don't even have to cook up anything .. see above  
. the ASCII content is already separated out for you, right up there  
at the top of the article.

What does WAIF stand for (try to define your acronyms in the  
beginning of your article please)?
