: It isn't necessary, anyway, since "longer" lines *can* be forced into
: shape in pine (just don't cursor back through it), and "ridiculously lo=
ng"
: lines means one's .newsrc is a holy mess (just collapse the first
: half of such a line into a single range; you obviously don't have time =
to
: read all those articles and they're probably all expired by now anyway).
Also using rtin or pine is a good way of subscribing newsgroups and
cleaning newsrc up. To subscribe, just use rtin's subscribe function,
then 'catch up' old articles and your .newsrc should be ready :-)
