With the recent popularity of podcasting, there have been a lot of questionsandcomments as to NewsGator's support for enclosures. Let me try to clear this up.
NewsGator Outlook Edition - supports enclosures in two different ways. By default, it will not download enclosures, but rather will put a link to the file in the message body.
However...it can be configured to download the enclosure automatically. To do this, go to NewsGator/Subscriptions, select the feed(s) you want and click Edit. Go to the Options tab, and enable the "automatically download enclosures/attachments" option. That's it - after doing this, enclosures in the selected feeds will be downloaded and stored in Outlook as attachments.
You may want them in your file system instead of in Outlook, so you can auto-sync them to a portable device. There's an Outlook add-in called Outlook Attachment Sniffer, which will save these attachments into a folder for you. Many thanks to Michael Greth for pointing this out!
