Advice needed for software

[BrianR]

It seems that vsp's suggestion covers all the bases for what I need, although it is a bit complicated to use easily.

But in it's favor, it comes with a tutorial! I like that. A lot. Now all I have to do is go through ten thousand lessons on how to use the thing and I'll be set. One little thing, I need to spend more time learning rules. I wrote one to let me view pictures as part of the message instead of loading them into a directory. I thought. What I wound up doing was loading EVERY picture in the newsgroup and saving it to the directory. Not good. There was something like two hundred pictures there. And each and every one of them HAD to be displayed before I could get the program to stop.
And I did have to have chosen a porn site to use for an easy source of pictures, too. I'm lucky I only told it to decode .jpg and not also .jpeg, .gif, .rm, .mov, .mpg and the rest or I'd have been there all day. Next time I use the Dr. Who site for a source of pics. That only has maybe ten posts per day. I can handle that volume more easily and no danger of the kid wandering in and looking over my shoulder.

Thanks, vsp ole pal!
