   Yes, I fully agree. Regarding binaries, the idea behind it is to transfer   
   and receive important documents etc., like an encrypted .pdf or maybe an   
   encrypted image[1], either directly with b4u and news.tcpreset.net or via   
   my m2n, which I added the X-Content: header now, and Mixmaster.   
      
   b4u fills IMHO a gap and it is also useful besides a.a.m. in other, no longer   
   used, Newsgroups. The header format is kept very simple and with the esub   
   Subject: line it fits nicely into a.a.m. and retrieving a file is super easy   
   and with the help of the -rc parameter (replay cache) you avoid downloading   
   things twice and third parties can not upload the same esub things twice.
