About text messages...

[Steph]

Hello,

I recently (yesterday) discover NewsLeecher and I'm very impressed by its interface and features .
I'm using Agent but not for a long time I think. I'm angry against Forte because there are still important bugs not corrected in their new version.

I just would like to say 3 things about NewsLeecher, mainly about text messages :
- I don't think it's possible to display text messages with hierarchy (treeview mode) and I think it's very useful.
- When you read a text message, a notepad window opens. Could the text message viewer be integrated in newsleecher ?
- Have the datetime of a post displayed instead of "old" (for text and binaries) ?

Is it possible to include these features in your roadmap ?

Congratulations for this product !
Steph

Why would you want the text viewer to be intergrated into NL?

Personally, I like it opening in Notepad... You can have several open at the same time...

Lets not confuse text and actual messages.

Personally i like the way XNews handles message posts.

Messages with the same subject are hidden in a folder type view, click the folder and the messages of the same subject expand, You are able to move onto the next message at the click of a button, which makes reading articles effortless. You can also reply and quote the text from a message (a feature that nl needs).

The advantage of opening messages internally instead of with notepad etc is that we would have the possibility of quoting a message when you reply like other news readers.

Articles with .txt extension could still be opened with notepad or whatever your default viewer as usual.

Yes i know nl is mainly a binary downloader but if something like this could be implemented it would be great! All in the name of being more userfriendly.

Full text ready capabilities are already in the roadmap. They should come along with v4.
