Entering a newsgroup usually means marking the first message as read,
even if it was intentionally saved (marked unread last time). That
means either changing the way I read news (again) because of the
interface, or marking unread the first message of most newsgroups I go
to (each time I read news) because there's no other way to see the
headers.
But then, I'll just continue using "rn" and doing without the few
advantages of xrn, so it doesn't really matter as far as I'm
concerned.
Point taken. You've convinced me that it would be useful to be able
to hit '=' when in newsgroup list mode, and have xrn retrieve a
summary listing and display it in the bottom window while continuing
to display the newsgroup list in the top window. Is this what you
want? If so, I will forward the suggestion back to the author, with
justification (although I doubt I will have time to implement it
myself).
