Test email - I've been replying to messages on hre but my replies don't
seem to be getting through.

<tip type="Offline Browsing">
If you ever want to grab a large chunk of a site for offline browsing in
Windows, WGET is the ideal tool. First download WGET for Windows
<http://www.qtm.net/~twegscheid/wget.html>. Now drop wget.exe in a
directory on your System path (on Windows XP I used C:\WINDOWS\system32).
Fire up a command prompt (windows-key + R then cmd and enter works for me)
and type wget --help for a list of options. Most of the time the article /
section of the site you want will all be contained in a subdirectory of the
site, in which case you can use

   wget -r -l0 --no-parent http://site.com/whatever/

to grab everything in that subdirectory, without WGET following any links
to parent directories.
