7.7.  Duties of a Reading Agent

   A reading agent downloads articles from a serving agent, as directed
   by the reader, and displays them (or processes them in some other
   manner), subject to any limitations of the reading agent, such as
   availability of charsets, and having first decoded any Content-
   Transfer-Encodings, encoded-words, etc.  It SHOULD also have the
   capability to show the raw article exactly as received.

   It MAY present lists of articles available for display, and MAY
   structure those lists so as to show the relationships between the
   articles, as determined by the References-, Subject-, Date- and
   other-headers (see [USEAGE] for some usual methods of doing this).
