I was wondering what you as unix users use to view binary news messages,
ie povray.binaries.images picture attachments? i have been using
netscape 4.61 under linux and it tends to have the desire to reload the
image about 3 times before it lets me scroll up and down to view it.
I will entertain any suggestions like emacs/xemacs and some spiffy way
of making it use like gimp or electric eyes to externally view the
image. i don't however want to have to save the image manually to disk
and then start some program.
so i hope this wasn't too oftopic, since the only reason i need this is
to view p.b.i.
thanks,
ross

I've tried PAN 0.8.0beta6 http://www.superpimp.org/
It's not very stable for me, you might have better luck.
It automatically saves images and uses ee to view them.
PoD.

NS 4.7 does not seem to have this tendency, at least not here (RedHat 6.0).

I've got NS 4.7, RH6.0, and I get the reloads. It's always annoyed me,
but I just got a cable modem, and I don't even notice them any more.
Really a pain over 56K modem though. Don't have any great suggestions.
Has anyone tried Mozilla/NS 6? Don't even know if it has newsgroup
support yet.

I use emacs with gnus to read newsgroups (including p.b.i). Since I`m
not the one who installed emacs in our system, I can't tell you how
much configuration is necessary. However, I can tell you that I can
view images just by clicking on a text in emacs. It automagically
starts xv to show the image. The image are temporarely stored in
/tmp/emm.*/ .
Unfortunately, there are two problems: xv isn't lauched, if the file
name contains white spaces, and I can't see a specific kind of included
images. I don't know, what the problem is, because from the comments of
others I can conclude that they can see the image. (But it is only a
small subset of the images that has this problem.)

really? that is not a good thing. I wonder if netscape knows about this.
Someone mentioned mozilla. I've got it (release 13, maybe 14), but for
some reason i don't use it very often at all. only if i conciously
remember that I installed it, but since i have a shortcut made to
netscape already, it's convenient (i'm lazy). So i don't know if mozilla
has a newsreader bundled with it. i'll check some day.
i've got a cable modem as well, but the reloads are still slow. it's
horribly anoying.
thanks everyone for the response. i might explore the emacs/gnus/some
external image viewer. if I have success, i'll try to report it here for
future inquiries by other people.

I use slrn, but I'm quite happy on the keyboard, probably not the solution
for you though it is possible to execute a command with just one or two
keystroaks and that command could be a bash script that decodes the message
and opens the image viewer with that image.

you still can use "leafnode", and keep any version of netscape you have.
leafnode, is a news server for small site, in fact it acts like a cache
for news, thus reloads will be done locally. So whatever the connection
you have, you will download news article once from internet, and reload
several time, but from you computer (which is faster). See
http://www.leafnode.org for details.

Followup:
I've upgraded to 0.8.0beta8 and it's working fine.

I get the same reload problems with 4.61 in OpenBSD. I think the entire
4 series has this problem. If I resize the message viewing window after
it starts reloading it normally stops doing it when I load the next
message.
