Doesn't the tty optimization help?  When expiring big groups over a
modem, I only see every hundred (or so) 'Expring article 32423'.

Also, couldn't the base64 decoder be a little bit more verbose?  Right
now my Emacs hangs for minutes on bigish attachments. A `Decoding
base64..........' message where the dot grows just like nntp would be
very neat. Or should I just wait for a Emacs with built-in
base64-decoding?
