- With these two options set, TIN will load into memory only those newsgroups to
- which you are subscribed in your .newsrc file. To get a full list of the
- newsgroups available on your server, use GetActive from INetUtils, and add
- lines of the form:
-
- <newsgroup>: 1-1
-
- to .newsrc
-
- e.g.
-
- comp.sys.amiga.datacomm: 1-1
-
- Additionally, you may want to use TIN's -q option to prevent it from asking
- you if you want to subscribe to any new groups which appear at your server.
