Found some useful code to change the behavior of the rn SUBJLINE environment variable. It is supposed to give one a nicely formated compound-printout of article subjects, along with their numbers, length and authors. Something like this (edited printout): **** 15 in news.lists--read? [ynq] **** 1 in alt.folklore.computers--read? [ynq] **** 19 in comp.mail.uucp--read? [ynq] = 3152 Re: New newsgroup hierarchy (19) Kenji Rikitake 3153 UUPC problem (25) stevesc@microsoft 3154 remote printer with UUPC?

Here's the actual code from my `.rninit' file pointed to by the RNINIT variable in my environment (first line, dealing with other rn-stuff, included for completeness): -t -h -i=8 +hfrom +Hnewsgroups +hsummary +hlines -T -N -ESUBJLINE="\ %(%[subject] \ =^\\(..............................................\\)?\ %1:%[subject]) \ %(%(%[lines]=^$?%z: (%[lines]\\))= *\\(.....\\)$\\|\\(.*\\)?%0) \ %(%(%f=(\\(.*[^ ].*\\))$?%1:%f) \ =^\\(...................\\)?%1)" ================================================================================ Thanks in advance! --Ian Feldman / ianf@nada.kth.se || uunet!nada.kth.se!ianf / "Go ahead, make my day, tell me to RTFM"
