So does an inline image class as an attachment?

At the moment Newsbreak and other providers will only show a blank box where the image should be if you are offline, it will cache the images if you go to each one but that defeats the purpose of offline reading.

Fair enough for the 'read more' comment - but one example is PocketPC Thoughts - it has a specially designed web page that you can synchronize. It's all available on one page scroll up and down and it has advertisements (and compared to some newsreaders to view it is very fast). Now I can't do that the next available option is RSS which makes it longer to read and doesn't always give the full article (I'm assuming this is the providers decision not the readers) In addition if you don't cache the images immediately doesn't that mean your stopping the advertisements potentially going to the client?!

The space taken up on the device to download - I can get a bigger memory card for that purpose - I would just like to read the material on the train whilst in the tunnel and not have to read each article before hand to get the images?! By all means give an option to limit how much can be downloaded per feed/article/attachment or space to use for everything and let the program decide how it should break down if too much space is taken.

I only have 3 or 4 test feeds at the moment and can't imagine going anywhere as near to 100?!
