that's the problem. i would like to do that on a huge basis.
problem is: i would like to extract the filename of a binary posts. and i
think there's no other way of doing that but reading the body and looking
for a "begin 664 name" or "name=..." for yEnc encoded post. but if i would
read ALL binary posts that would be a little bit too much traffic to spend.
:(
but i don't feel fine cutting all connection on every file.

cheers
