Hi Yarn-users!

I have used Yarn for more than 2 years. I upgraded to Yarn 0.91 when I
saw that it does real threading. That's great! But I have some
questions, problems, and suggestions:

1. Is it possible to make the news-base-file shrink, (when you
expire.) If it has grown exceptionally big, it would be nice, if
expiring could make its actual size on the HD smaller. In my
experience, it can not shrink, only expand! Why?

2. Since april this year, no mail-message has had a number in the
Lines-column. Maybe I upgraded to v. 0.85 at that time (?) It's a
pitty, that the Lines-function suddently didn't work anymore. I
regarded the Lines-column as a very good idea.

3. Approximately at the time of my upgrade to v. 0.91 I started to get
many "duplicate articles rejected". Generally more than a third of
the imported articles are duplicate. For instance:
64 articles accepted - 49 duplicate articles rejected
or
24 articles accepted - 14 duplicate articles rejected
or even
44 articles accepted - 77 duplicate articles rejected
Is it Yarn v. 0.91 that doesn't work, or is it UQWK or my
news-server that has problems?
