good question....no you can't post anything with it.  You can only grab stuff.  It's not free but they have a evaluation copy and there are ways.  I think Forte Agent is good for posting messages but I couldn't figure out how.  I still don't know how to reply to a message, lol.  I always post a REAL small file with my message.  Although I wouldn't recommend doing this as it's not proper Newsgroup ettiquette.

...It also works GREAT with XP Pro.

Is it true that Grabit doesn't support YEnc?

Uhhh. of course Grabit supports Yenc.. Those kinds of things should be a non-issue for any newsgroup reader these days (and transparent to the users).. if it is.. THEN SWITCH! wink.gif
