Lynx is easily built into a script and will open a newsgroup article with
a command such as
lynx nntp://localhost/nnq.jtbell-D38492.02221303012008@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
or
lynx nntp://localhost/news.announce.newusers/8 (where 8 is the local
article number in the spool).
Image Magick includes the command "display" which will display most image
formats. You'd need to 'decode' any images 'attached' to usenet articles
or emails, of course. Yencode looks promising, but I've never used it.
