[comp.sources.d] want: enhancement to RN ...

leoh@hardy.hdw.csd.harris.com (07/19/90)

In the time I have used our copy of RN, I have ended up with LARGE kill files, 
especially on some of the more active groups.  In those cases, I wait a LONG 
time before the killing process is finished.

I was hoping that some similarly "frustrated" RNer had somehow modified the 
source so that after some preset/configurable number of NULL kills (no 
articles to kill with that Subject: string), that entry would be removed 
from the kill file ...

I believe 'nn' has such a construct.

I use gnus and run my kill files in batch so a few extra misses don't bother me.
