When article numbers reach 100000, rn doesn't put a space after the number
when I list subjects with '=' (it probably uses %6d to format with no space
after the format string).  If I type '100000=' I do get a space after the
number.  Either rn should be changed to use a wider field all the time, or
the high volume newsgroups should have their article numbers reset.
