So why don't you? It uses your default selected font. Don't blame me if it is ugly. ;)

More seriously, if there is anything I know less about than HTML/CSS, it is graphical design. All help is appreciated.

Fixed.

No, I had no idea people preferred it that way. I have changed the default to put the most recent threads on the top instead, but within the threads, the most recent article still ends up at the bottom. Is that better or should the thread tree be inverted too? Maybe up side down too?

Thanks everyone for the positive criticism. I will go ahead and add the missing functionality:

- posting interface,
- proper Mime handling:
  o multipart messages
  o non "text/plain" parts
  o character sets other than latin1 and utf8
  o base64 and uuencoded attachement,
- a search interface (the original plan),
- and some more of this ever so fun browser compatibility work.

Any chance this thing will be made publicly available? I'd love to be able to run this locally and access my newsgroups thru a browser.
