It works in a windowing environment but is only a very simple text editor without fonts -- everything is shown typewriter style. If you have any sort of decent windowing environment (Win, Mac or X-Windows) you should be able to copy-and=paste from the newsreader window into a simple editor window. Shouldn't you?
