Relay-Version:version B 2.10 5/3/83; site mhuxt.UUCP Message-ID:<312@houxf.UUCP> Date:Fri, 27-May-83 19:31:08 EDT (I had suggested a wrap-output-at-80-columns option for news, especially for the -p paper output. Several people have pointed out the obvious solution of writing a trivial filter.) One feature that is noticeably lacking, both for the -p (paper-output) and -l (titles-only) options of readnews, is the printing of article numbers. The CRT-output options print both an Article-ID and a number identifying the article number on the local machine; -p and -l print neither. This makes it difficult to find articles in the spool files if I want to refer to them later. Another gripe: the -l option prints out titles, but does not update the .newsrc file. It would be nice if I could print the titles of groups such as net.sources and still have .newsrc updated. Thanks; Bill Stewart houxf!govern
