Another tool worth mentioning is sitescoper (http://www.sitescooper.org/). It's a tool similar to plucker and similar tools to download webpages and output them to various formats.
One of them is interesting: output as one html file. With this you can download a newssite in one go get one html file as output and download it to newtscape. This works reasonably well for some of the news-sites I like to read.
Sitescooper is written in perl so it works well under Unix, but the author is kind enough to explain how to install it under Windows & Macos (classic).
What I generally do is to run the exec periodically and to copy the resulting file to a machine with a web-server and download the file via Newtscape.
