X+ /NETFEED
X+ /NETFEED [default]
X+ /NONETFEED
X+`032
X+ The default action of NEWS is to assume that all items added by the ADD
X+ command are network news items, and should be forwarded to NEWS network
X+ neighbours (as specified by the SYS and DISTRIBUTION files). /NONETFEED
X+ inhibits the forwarding of ADDed items to neighbours. /NETFEED is the
X+ default
X+`032
X+ /NEWSGROUP
X+ /NEWSGROUP=newsgroup
X+`032
X+ This directs the NEWS parser to place all items into the nominated
X+ newsgroup (regardless of whether the item contains a "Newsgroups:"
X+ header line). This qualifier is useful when converting messages from
X+ a mailing list into a newsgroup. For example:
X+`032
X+ $ MAIL
X+ MAIL> set folder CMU_TCPIP
X+ MAIL> extract/all tcp.mail
X+ MAIL> delete/all
X+ MAIL> exit
X+ $ NEWS/NOSCREEN
X+ NEWS> add file tcp.mail/news=anu.tcpip
X+`032
X+ /NOCONTROL
X+`032
X+ When specified, this qualifier inhibits the interpretation of the Control:
X+ header in ADDed items by NEWS.
X+`032
X+ The default behaviour of NEWS is to interpret all Control: headers.

X file has rejected this item. You may wish to make changes to the SYS file
X and retry adding the item. Normally such an attempt would be rejected, as
X! the Path: name now contains the local node name, and this is regarded as
X! a loop in the news. /RETRY directs the ADD command to ignore the Path:
X! line when checking the news item for addition into the local node.
