I seldom had these problems until I got 64-bit Windows and realised too

Erm, your header says it's using Mime 1.0. Maybe that's the problem: a
Uuencoded data chunk in a Mime post. In which case, it's an Agent
glitch.

I doubt there are many more newsreaders out there.

I've tried Xnews, quirky interface, but otherwise very capable. Don't
know whether there's a Vista/W7 64-bit version.

I'm using TB 3.1.7, suits me. But I don't see much spam, because my ISP
(Bell Canada) has excellent spam barriers. The last month or so, one
piece of spam from a hi-jacked address, otherwise nothing.

Bell Canada has SPAM filters on USENET?
