Mail only. (Well, there are some hidden options that imply it has some
news capability, but this isn't documented and I wouldn't particularly
want to use it for news.) You asked for descriptions of mailer and
newsreader response, so I included Eudora. v4.2.2 is significant
because it's the last version of Eudora which will run on 68K Macs.

I think it just shows exactly what's there, ignoring the
multipart/digest header. Your message is no longer on my mail server to
retrieve again. If you'd like, send it to me off-list and I'll report
Eudora's handling. (I've left that option reversed.)

I meant that it shows all the text of all the messages, as though it
weren't multipart. By "contents" I meant "the entire content", not just
a "contents chapter" or "first part". Sorry for the confusing wording.
I later sent the author's response; he says he will try to deal with
multipart/digest in the next release.
