movie file usenet downloads attachment problem

mpg and avi files do not appear as attachments when downloaded from UseNet.
I am using Vista for Business 32 bit. They appear inline in the message as
binary data. Another individual reported this same problem (see below).
There was no response to this other inquiry that can be found here

How can I fix this so that the data appears as an attachment and not inline
binary data.

Re: movie file usenet downloads attachment problem

You need a different news reader, or a program like BinaryBoy, which
downloads binary files from USENET.
