My news server (GigaNews) doesn't let binaries appear in text only
newsgroups like rec.boats so a filter is for that is not necessary.
Therefore, I can fine tune a filter to long winded, political cut and
pastes.

I use giganews and Agent often retrieves headers of binaries right
here in this group. It's usually obvious spam.
I delete the headers. I just looked at my setup and actually the
lines were set at 500, but it's useless anyway since it only applies
to when auto retrieval of bodies is ticked, which it isn't.

BTW .... I have no problem if Harry wants to reference an article dear to
his heart with a link.
That gives me the choice.

Yep.
