The branch in question has to do with the encoding and coding of group names. If you have groups with non-ascii names in particular (accents, etc), it would be helpful just to know if they display correctly, if you can jump to it, move articles into and out of them, etc. I've just pushed another commit to the branch which means you don't have to backup your .newsrc.eld before testing the branch. I mean, you still ought to, but the code shouldn't mess with the format of the file. Anyway, no one has any obligation to spend time on this! It was mean of me to single you out, it was only because you showed up in the thread :) Eric
