Esoteric Settings
¬

Alexandra alllows for a lot of customisation and you can make most settings either directly, like changing the sort order, or in the preferences panel. Some settings, however, we felt are so special that nobody but the master of the universe himself would even know what they are good for. Anyway, if you think you're ready for it go on and read through the following list of unbelievable dwrites.

Key Bindings
The text in the compose window and the text-fields in some windows have extended key bindings. With the following default you set whether you want emacs style bindings or not. NB: If you don't want bindings set the value to the string `none'

Name:				KeyBase
Standard value:		emacs
Other values:		none

Find Panel 
In the find panel you can give a regular expression as search pattern. This default lets you specify which type of regular expression syntax you want to use.

Name: 				RegExprSyntax
Standard value: 	EMACS
Other values: 		AWK, EGREP, GREP

Kill expire
To prevent the kill list from growing infinitly a thread is removed from the kill list when an article from it wasn't killed for a while. In this case one can assume that the thread is finished. This default lets you specify how many days a thread will be retained in the kill list after the last article was seen.

Name:				KillFileExpire
Standard value:		30

Additional Headers
You can specify a certain amount of headers ± names and contents or just names ± that will be sent off with every posting. This default lets you specify how many additional headers you want:

Name:				DefaultHeaders
Standard value:		7

Newsgroup browser
When you resize the newsgroups browser at some point the columns become too narrow and one of the columns is removed. This default lets you set how narrow a browser column can be before this happens.

Name: 				MinBrowserColumnWidth
Standard value: 	70
