1. I would like to see the possibility for Yarn to "Save to file" using
the directory structure as on NNTP-servers, that is, when I press "O"
to save to folder (taking comp.os.ms-windows.networking.* newsgroups
as an example) it saves articles from the 'tcpip' newsgroup in the
'tcpip' file under $HOME\NEWS\COMP\OS\MS-WINDOWS\NETWORKING\ and
articles from comp.os.ms-windows.networking.win95 in the 'win95'
file, etc.
I know that one can press F2 to see a list of 'folders' but having
Yarn parse the newsgroup name and suggesting that the articles be
saved in the correct directory structure and file would be a bonus.
As it is Yarn does not 'see' the sub-directories, just the files in
the NEWS sub-directory.
One could 'Save to file' but then typing in the whole directory
structure would be a pain as Yarn does nat have the 'F2' option
implemented for 'Save to file'.
I believe that implementation of my suggestion would make storage and
retrieval of 'pearls of wisdom' from the newsgroups much easier.
2. The possibility to open another window with Yarn running in a
read-only mode so that one can search for articles from time long
gone or earlier in a thread to cut-n-paste into a reply or follow-up.
This was suggested earlier but never implemented. That feature was
available in a qwk reader from BBS days called M-Reader by Kip
Compton designed for RIME members.

Looking forward to seeing the list and hoping that someone can do
something about the wishes which are put forward.
