Version 1.6.4
 License:   GPL
 Updated:   August 16, 2000
 Source:   Source Available
Recoded some of the drag and drop due to a wierd bug that I still have no idea how to fix.
(This is what caused NewsBe to crash when you select an article after starting NewsBe unless you've used the menu or started NewsBe with the article window open, it doesn't now)
NewsBe can now handle headers from a rogue version of slrn that does not use standard headers.
The front end can be resized, and NewsBe remembers the window size.
The Article pane's font size can now be changed.
