Well, maybe it is obvious to some. But, I still am missing a piece. Once
you open the main file in the article, yup, there it is: the name of the
book!
However, when looking at the subject of the newsgroup file, how do you tell
that "h4ei934fwp76p5typ68gfdv4pyf402eo07 - [01/43] -
"h4ei934fwp76p5typ68gfdv4pyf402eo07.par2" yEnc (1/1)" is going to be
"Stephen King - (The Dark Tower VII)" ???
As far as I can see, a person would have to open at least one file for each
book in order to find out the name of the book. If, using BinSearch, you
did that, well, it could take a long time!
So, am I missing something?
