nose, too ;)

 ACK!  There were some really great stuff in it - I especially loved the
man jumping on the tv-set *giggle*

 That's exactly why newsreaders normally only download the headers and
present you those first. If you like to download the message is up to
you. Don't blame vk for your newsreader.

 Totally ACK! If you would use a common newsreader I might have had a
sugguestion for you to how spot big messages. But sorry, I never heared
of the agent you are using before, so I just can you sugguest to get
one, that does that for you (like e.g. [1]).

 Have fun!
