Is there some way to get a list of the article subjects in a given
newsgroup, without repetitions (so that if there are 10 articles on
subject X, you get subject X being listed only once)? Even if you
sort by subject, it's painfully slow (esp. over 2400 baud) to scroll
through all those subjects, just to get an idea of whether or not you
like that particular newsgroup.

Nice idea. Sort of like a folding editor. You would then have commands to "expand" a subject (e.g. see all the headers). Using a command (e.g. kill) on a folded subject would act on all the articles under that subject. /Lars -- Copyright 1989 Lars Fischer; you can redistribute only if your recipients can.
