I have Gnus running quite well on my system, mostly for IMAP email and lot's of little text newsgroups. However, I occassionally venture into binary newsgroups for one reason or another. I find that I am often trying to find one particular file or item, and there are so many binary newsgroups, I find it hard to know where to find which ones. Can someone provide some advice on the most effecient way to search through multiple binary groups for a specific file?
As well, can someone point me to some documentation on how Gnus works with binary files and how it decodes them? I have never used Gnus for binary files, so I don't know where to start. Some information on Yenc files would be good. Also, I notice a lot of binary files are encoded in RAR format, but are split and not one single file. What is the best way to decompress these files on Linux? I know that some newsreaders do the combining and unarchiving automatically, but I did not see anything in the Gnus manual that would hint to it being able to do that. -- Aaron Hsu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://www.sacrificumdeo.net> "Extend beyond the Mortal . . . ."
