   >Welcome to XanaNews   
   >XanaNews is a free, powerful, fully featured newsreader for Windows 98,   
   >Windows 2000 and Windows XP.   
   >Here's what XanaNews will do for you:   
   >*Support for Multiple News (NNTP) Servers.   
   >*Multiple threaded engine. Supports three threads per news server so you   
   > can simultaneously download group lists, message headers and messages for   
   > multiple servers.   
   >*Threaded multicolumn tree message display. Display messages in thread or   
   > chronological order. Sort threads or messages by date, size, author or   
   > subject.   
   >*Displays NNTP and MIME images inline, building them up as they arrive.   
   >*Save images and other binary attachments.   
   >*Powerful message deleting feature. Delete messages that don't match your   
   > criteria.   
   >*Threads that contain messages to you are displayed highlighted.   
   > Intelligent resume/cancel button. When it's red you can cancel the selected   
   > operation. When it's green you can resume after network failures, and when   
   > it's grey you can't click it!   
   >*Batch mode. Define batches of message retrieval operations. A single batch   
   > can work across multiple newsgroups - even on multiple servers!   
   >*Both images and other binary attachments can be saved.   
   >*Powerful configurable message filters can be created for individual   
   > newsgroups, or all newsgroups on a server.   
   >*Decode UUE, Base64 and yEncoded messages.   
   >*SSL Support   
   >*Supports posting multiple attachments   
   >*Integrates with ISpell spell checker.

   >Getting Started   
   >When you first run XanaNews the New User Setup wizard will be displayed:   
   >1. Type in your name and E-Mail address and click 'Next'.   
   >2. The next screen asks for the Server Account Name and the Server Name.   
   >The Server Account Name should be a friendly name that describes the   
   >server. The 'Server Name' should be the Internet name of the server that   
   >you will connect to. Contact your ISP for details. Press the 'Next' button.   
   >3. Some servers require a user name and password before they can be accessed.   
   >The next screen allows you to enter these. Most news servers provided by   
   >ISPs don't require these details. If in doubt leave the screen alone, and   
   >press the 'Next' button again.   
   >4. The final New User Setup wizard screen allows you to specify a dialup   
   >connection to use when connecting to this server. If your computer is always   
   >connected to the Internet, leave this screen alone, otherwise select a   
   >dialup connection from the list provided, then press 'Next'   
   >Press OK to finish the New User Setup wizard. XanaNews will automatically   
   >connect to the Internet and download the list of newsgroups available on the   
   >server. When this download finished you will be presented with the list of   
   >newsgroups.   
   >That's it! You now ready to start using XanaNews. For details see the help   
   >on using the workspace.
