Much closer now. Found some things on the web, so I've created a new 
readme. Currently if an article is an encoded binary, it doesn't appear 
on the standalone version.

Other problem that happens on both standalone and msys2 versions - if 
you save an article with no attachments, it doesn't save anything at all.

And the gtk3 icons are microscopic. Is there any way of persuading it to 
use bigger ones?
