I like to use Thunderbird to search the groups.

If you want to actually pick through and display only the images, what you need
is a crawler, and depending on how the website has it's permissions set up (esp.
w/r/t robots) this could be problematic.

OTOH... You could just try google.

search for all results from news.povray.org like so:

Search term: "site:news.povray.org"

then click the images link.
