Spent hours trying to figure it out, but with all the messages that I can not read (including my own), and no way to even read the message headers when there is"No Message Body", I just gave up and decided to wait for the next Newsbin relaease. Now I tend to think the decision is if there is "No Message Body" then the command "Read Message Body" is not supposed to work. A year ago Newsbin would at least display the message headers.

>In the case of BOB and others, the only way I know that there was a "Message Body" is when Spike relays the message. Must be something to do with the message headers or the total size of headers and text. Reminds me of years ago when people used to add 100 line feeds to fill out short messages. Some still do that even today.

You should REALLY switch back to Agent... give it a try with a (Full)
warez version, I don't seem to have even noticed the changes over the
years so I didn't notice much of a change.
I realised that Agent was NOT the best program for posting binaries
and switched to Powerpost... which is probably the standard right now
and has been for quite a while.
You said that Agent was too much to re-learn... thats probably the
posting binaries side of it anyway ! The rest is fairly
straight-forward.
I told you I'm Old School Agent... I tried other stuff but went back
to Agent... There is a reason why I use Powerpost and NOT Agent to
post binaries... it's just Easier AND Better with Powerpost...
otherwise I would use Agent.
Anyways... each to their own, as long as things are getting posted :)
