If you set a Description File then, for each binary file decoded, an entry will appear in the file similar to this:
------- <alt.binaries.misc:french1.jpg> ------- Subject: -2 sets of typical french countryside- french1.jpg(1/1) 43931 bytes This set contains photos of Haute Var villages in southern France including several pretty town squares |
The first line specifies the newsgroup and the decoded file name. The second line is the subject of the posting. The rest is the text that appeared in the posted message along with the binary. The subject line is very useful for writing efficient hook programs (See Hook Programs). You may set a default description file in File->Preferences->Defaults->Description File. You may also set a description file for each group in the Description File entry on the Subscribed page.
