I don't see any blank lines, at least none that I didnt insert by
hitting the return key. Perhaps it's a bug in your archaic Xnews

popular because its excellent.

I dont know where you get that from but it is absolutely false. It is
for Light binary use and text use.

Most people DONT use it for large binary use becuase it has memory
issues for large groups which you already alluded too.

I dont get what you are trying to say here. I said multiple times
that Xnews is a good LIGHT use binary reader and an excellent full
featured text reader. I would say if I wasnt dealing with a group
with say over 250,000 headers I have no use for any other binary
reader as Xnews has no problems with groups of that size and FWIW,
who needs to load all 1,000,000 headers at once?

Have a look at the above. First one was taken from your first post,
second from your reply. It is a well known bug that is still in need of
repair.

Her is the fix:
It just needs a few lines to get rid of that blank lines. If you have a
user.js underneath your profile, add
user_pref("mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed", false);
user_pref("mail.quoted_graphical", false);
user_pref("mail.quoteasblock", false);
user_pref("mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support", false);
user_pref("mail.display_struct", true);
user_pref("mail.send_struct", false);

light use and binary shouldn't be used in the same sentence. The memory
leaks are atrocious.
and an excellent full

full featured text reader? That's analogous to a high performance,
luxury Kia. The program is used primarily for binary, plain and simple
and it can't handle the burden. Why don you start looking at everyone's
post here and report back with your findings. Hardly anyone is using Xnews.
I would say if I wasnt dealing with a group

everyone that is downloading binary content schmucko. What if you choose
to download 1,000,000 instead of all your headers and part of the file
you're looking for is on 1,000,250 location?

I'm glad it annoys you. Hopefully as annoying as your dimwitted reply to
company and keith geek.
