Regarding size limits:  another approach might be to use something
like MIME to encode a article into several pieces for transmission
and also use it to decode the pieces into a viewable article.  There
are problems with this (what do you do if not all the pieces are
available together ever due to transmission delays?), but it might
be worth a look.  I've added MIME support to trn.
