I'm sure everybody here is using a "real" newsreader. But I just use googlegroups unless I need something fancy that it can't do.
But a big obvious whale of a shortcoming is GG's inability to properly
format plain old text. So here's a fix. Get yourself some kind of plugin
to insert CSS to the page and insert this:
html-blob{ white-space:pre-wrap; font-family:monospace; }
br{ display:none; }
[If it works, you will see the above 2 lines indented as they ought to be.] You could use "pre" instead of "pre-wrap" but then you're at the mercy
of authors manually wrapping their own lines.
