What is a newsreader?
A news reader is a program that you install on
your computer to connect to a news server where all the messages are stored. Upon first
running, the news reader will connect to the news server and retrieve a list of all the
newsgroups that are carried by that news server. When you want to see a list of the
messages in a newsgroup, the news reader will connect to the news server and retrieve the
list of messages (the headers of the messages) in that group without actually downloading
the messages themselves (the body of the messages). Now you can browse through the list of
messages to see what is available in that group at the time. If you decide to download
something that you see listed, simply highlight it (if it has more than 1 file, highlight
all parts) and the news reader will download the messages and decode them into binary
files.
