Certain sites would be silly to write a handler for. Like "The Onion" - the content is displayed like a paper. There aren't any links to make shortcuts for, and in total - it'd be simpler just displaying the data as-is. I've encountered other sites that have the same problem. So I started wondering, should NC go an fetch the webpages? As I recall, David didn't really want to have NC act like an agent, so this might not be a good idea. However, for people like me, who use dial-up connections, and view the data offline - this would be great! My idea: have a handler that takes a URL as a paramater, and returns a link to a local HTML file, which may or may not have all the images from it already downloaded and re-linked. It may even get all the links from that page! - If you would like to unsubscribe from this mailing list send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe newsclipperdevlist YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS" (without the quotes) or use the form provided at http://www.NewsClipper.com/TechSup.htm#MailingList.
