+PicMonger is an automated NNTP (Usenet News) client. In short, you point it
+at your news server, select a group, and it scans the available (and not
+previously scanned) posts for UUencoded or MIME base64-encoded binaries
+(e.g. a JPEG image). When a binary is found, it is automatically decoded
+back to its original form. If desired, PicMonger can also create thumbnail
+preview pages, viewable in any web browser.
+
+Features:
+* Intuitive GUI design
+* Automatic customizable HTML thumbnail preview page generation
+* Thumbnails maintain same aspect ratio as the original, within a size
+ constraint specified by the user
+* Inter-session group memory (resumes scanning a newsgroup where you left off)
+* Inter-session options memory (remembers all of your customized settings)
+* GUI-based mangement of server and newsgroup lists
+* Fixes filenames to be ext2fs (Linux/Unix) friendly before they are written
+* Screens files and decodes only the file types you select
+* Easy installation (uses GNU autoconf/automake)
+* Error logging for easy troubleshooting (rarely an issue)
+* Distributed under the GNU GPL
