I have recently changed from using 'readnews' to 'notes' (actually
'autoseq' which sequences through a list of newsgroups in the order
that I specify in an environment variable 'NFSEQ').

I like using notes better than using readnews, but there is one small
problem.  The title of an article is limited to 36 characters and sometimes
there is information in a title that is lost.  I (and probably others
who use notes) would appreciate it if people would either limit
their titles to 36 characters, or repeat the content of the title
somewhere in the article.

					Thanks,

Even better: change 'notes' to handle titles correctly.

	I agree with Rich -- please keep your titles short.  The worst part
	is when people type the question half of a riddle on the subject
	line without repeating it in the body of the article.
