First, is it possible to adjust how 'agressively' it collapses the name? In 0.26, it left 2 segments of the name uncompressed, but in 0.29 it's only leaving one. Given the number of .announce groups I have subscribed, it gets confusing - is 't.announce' texasnet.announce or texas.announce? Ideally, I'd like it to observe the field width specification (%-20c) and collapse the name from left to right until it fits in the specified width (so that, say, comp.unix.sys5.r4 would be left alone, but news.admin.net-abuse.misc would collapse to n.a.net-abuse.misc, but I'd settle for being able to specify how many segments to leave uncompressed. Second, is it possible to get %c to leave off the select method? In another question, somewhat related to my second question, is it possible to browse your default server in order to re-add killed groups without them showing up as foreign groups? -- #include /* Sten Drescher */ 1973 Steelers About Three Bricks Shy of a Load 1994 Steelers 1974 Steelers And the Load Filled Up 1995 Steelers?
