Usenet content is being displayed on an
Internet web page.
I don't see any practical way for that to be done without downloading the messages from Usenet and saving them to a database for access by a web server. I'm sure I'll be corrected if wrong, but I seriously doubt that the images are converted from UUE, BASE64, etc., then thumbnailed, and displayed in real time for every browser request. That would be a huge processing load on the server.
