Must be something on your end. After your inquiry I opened it with Agent
3.2 with no problem. Does it show as an attachment with a .RAR
extension? If not, try saving the complete attachment (not the message
itself) somewhere and renaming it to something.rar
If that doesn't work, try re-downloading it from your server
(giganews?). You may have to (in Agent) delete the message and then
"download all messages" for the newsgroup.
