    % alt %

  This allows the rest of the alt hierarchy, including subgroups such
  as alt.flame.spelling (if you subscribe to it), to get included at
  that point in the sequence.

  Along with using the default settings of cross-filter-seq=true and
  cross-post=false, this works fine to nuke the crossposted articles.

Subject: How can I select one article in a thread with auto-select-subject set?
From: Using nn-26

  Define the following macro to toggle auto-select-subject.  --Steven
  Grady <[e-mail]>

    map menu A (
        :local auto-select-subject
        :toggle auto-select-subject
        ?auto-select-subject=on echo "Auto-select on"
        ?auto-select-subject=off echo "Auto-select off"
    )

  Use the '.' command.


Subject: Is there a library of macros and other nn features?
From: Using nn-27

  When complete, it will be a companion posting to this one.  If you
  have not mailed me <[e-mail]> your init file, or you have
  made substantial changes since the last time, please send it in.  If
  anyone is handy in perl or awk and would like to write some scripts
  to reduce multiple init files to variable summaries (like the one I
  posted a long time ago), macro definitions and presentation sequence
  tricks, I would like to talk to you.


Subject: Can one search for patterns in the entire article from the menu?
From: Using nn-28

  No.


Subject: How can I remove old articles from folders?
From: Using nn-29

  Just open the folder in the usual way and C(ancel) the articles you
  want to remove from the folder.  When you leave the folder, nn will
  rewrite the folder with the "cancel"ed articles removed.  --Kim
  Storm <[e-mail]>


Subject: What's the best way to save multi-part articles?
From: Using nn-30

  All you have to do is to save the articles from the menu, e.g.

    W(rite) +file.* a b c d... <space>

  where a b c d... are the articles on the menu you want to save.  You
  can also save the selected articles on the menu with * (only on
  current page) or + (on all menu pages).  --Kim Storm <[e-mail]>


Subject: When saving in +a/b/c keeps you from saving in +a/b.
From: Using nn-31

  This happens when default-save-file is $F.  Try changing
  default-save-file to $F/$N (my favorite) to get, for example,
  +news/software/nn/1022, or $G to put everything in
  +news.software.nn.  Finally, if you really did want the behavior of
  +$F, a compromise would be to use +$F. (Andrew's favorite) instead
  (one can use anything other than '.'). --Bill Wohler & Andrew Swann
  <[e-mail]>

  Alternatively, use +$F/$L, to place articles for news.software.nn in
  the file +/news/software/nn/nn.  This has two advantages:
  1) You can later read through the folder "nn" and save some of the
    articles under new folder names having to do with the topic.  For
    example, you might save auto-select topics under +$F/auto-sel,
    that is, +/news/software/nn/auto-sel.
  2) If at a later date, a new newsgroup is added below nn, articles
    can still be saved under that subgroup since +/news/software/nn is
    already a directory, not a folder.  --Harry Herman <[e-mail]>


Subject: ! Can I use my mailer to send mail?
From: Using nn-32

  Yes.  See the variables mail-alias-expander, mail-script, mailer,
  and mailer-pipe-input.  The following show how you can have nn look
  up mail aliases, and use elm and MH to mail messages.  [9.92]

  #!/bin/sh
  #
  # nn-expand-mail-alias -- expands aliases from ~/.mailrc file for nn.
  #
  # To use, put the following in your ~/.nn/init file:
  #
  #    set mail-alias-expander nn-expand-mail-alias
  # and put this file somewhere in your path, making it executable.  I use
  #    set mail-alias-expander /usr/local/lib/nn-expand-mail-alias
  # but the choice is up to you.

  exit 0

  The original idea of using MH (namely, comp) to send mail from nn
  came from Jaap Vermeulen <[e-mail]>, but he wouldn't
  recognize what I did to it.  I also used a suggestion from John
  Romine <[e-mail]> and Tom McCain.

  Add

    set mail-script nn-use-mh

  to your init file, where nn-use-mh is the following:

  #!/bin/sh

  # Obtain value of $WORK and $RECORD
  . ${HOME}/.nn/.param

  # Append Fcc: +folder to headers.  The folder is specified in
  # mail-record.
  if [ "$RECORD" != "" ]; then
    awk '
    {
        if ($0 == "" && !done) {
            print "Fcc: +'$RECORD'";
            done = 1;
        }
        print;
    }' $WORK > /tmp/aux.$$ && mv /tmp/aux.$$ $WORK
  fi

  # Compose and send the mail
  comp -form $WORK

  In addition, you can contact Ray Davis <[e-mail]> for some
  scripts that sort of turn nn into a MH front end by providing macros
  to save, delete and refile articles in MH folders.

  Here is an example to use elm to send the messages.

  Add the following to ~/.nn/init:

    set   mailer              nn_elm
    unset mailer-pipe-input

  Here is nn_elm:

  #!/bin/sh
  #
  # nn_elm
  #
  # 07 Aug 91             V1.0
  #
  # Massage a mail message from nn into a form that elm can use
  # (c) 1991 Phil Kernick <[e-mail]> Wizard Software
  #

  eval `awk '
  BEGIN {
    FS = ":";
    dq = sprintf("%c", 34);

    headers = 0;
    to = "";
    subject = "";
  }

  /^.*: / {
    headers++;
    if($1 == "To")
      to = dq substr($0, 5) dq;
    if($1 == "Subject")
      subject = dq substr($0, 10) dq;
  }

  /^$/ {
      printf("tail +%d %s | elm -s %s %s > /dev/null\n", headers+2, mail, subject, to);
      exit;
  }' mail=$1 $1`

  exit $?


Subject: How can I see the original article with the current subject?
From: Using nn-33

  While reading an article, use "G RET RET RET".


Subject: ! Can I choose newsgroups as I do articles, ie. with a menu?
From: Using nn-34

  No, not yet.  Sorry.  However, progress in this direction has been
  made--if you care to finish the work, please contact Peter Wemm
  <[e-mail]>. [12.92]


Subject: How can I post prewritten articles with nn?
From: Using nn-35

  nnpost will construct the header for the posted article, so it
  requires several arguments to be specified before the article is
  posted, e.g. a newsgroup name and a subject.  If some arguments are
  missing, nnpost will prompt for the missing arguments.

  If your pre-written article includes a full header, then you should
  not use nnpost; instead you should feed the article to "inews -h"
  directly (which is what nnpost does after building the header from
  the arguments).  --Kim Storm <[e-mail]>


Subject: How do I eliminate double signatures?
From: Using nn-36

  Double signatures occur when both nn and inews append $HOME/.signature.

  If you want just inews to append your signature, use:

    unset append-signature-post

  This is actually the default, but you can unset this variable if
  your nn administrator has mistakenly turned it on.

  If you want just nn to append your signature, move your signature to
  some other place than $HOME/.signature.  Then see, "Can the signature
  come from a different file or program?"


Subject: Can the signature come from a different file or program?
From: Using nn-37

  If you want nn to append your .signature file, you can copy nn's aux
  file (ie. /usr/local/lib/nn/aux) to your .nn directory and set the
  mail-script and news-script variables to ~/.nn/aux.  In your copy of
  the aux script, you can either specify a different place for your
  .signature file (like $HOME/.nn/signature) or you can get fancy: you
  can use specific .signatures for certain groups (saved in variable
  "G"), or use the output of a program.  --Bill Wohler

  Tired of the same old signature?  Want different signatures for
  different newsgroups?  Here's a program to help you out.

  The way it works is to have .signature be a named pipe, so if you
  don't have named points, just say 'n'.

  The sigrand program then feeds stuff down the pipe everytime someone
  wants to read it.  That way it works for more than just news, but
  for anything that wants to read your .signature, like a mailer.

  You have your choice of three kinds of signatures:

      1) random (short) fortune from "fortune -s"; you get these if
     you don't have a global sig file.
      2) random fortune from ~/News/SIGNATURES [global sig file]
      3) random fortune form ~/News/(newsgroup)/SIGNATURES [local sig files]

  Ask Tom Christiansen <[e-mail]> for more details.


Subject: How can I make mail replies go to a different machine?
From: Using nn-38

  See "How can I update my mail headers?"  [9.92]


Subject: How come more articles get selected than I expect?
From: Using nn-39

  Check the setting of subject-match-parts. If this is on, then your subjects
  are considered matched if they match up to the first digit. For example
  if subject-match-parts is on, the subjects:

    someprogram Part 1/5
    someprogram Part 2/5

  are considered matches. So are

    v12345: someprogram Part 1/5
    v12346: anotherprogram Part 1/23

  as the "v" is identical up to the first digit. If you want to use
  subject-match-parts in a "comp.sources" type group, set
  subject-match-offset (the character position that matches are
  started from) to be beyond any digits that might appear in the first
  part of the subject.  --Dave Hayes <[e-mail]>


Subject: Any plans for trn-ish thread following?
From: Using nn-40

  At the moment, no.


Subject: Setting new-group-action to "ask before adding" doesn't work.
From: Using nn-41

  Take NEW out of your sequence--it's redundant.


Subject: Why does nn crash when a letter one past the highest letter is selected?
From: Using nn-42

  This is fixed in patch 17.  [9.92]

  Your terminal modes will be screwed up after such an event, so
  you'll have to type ^J (or LINE-FEED) repeatedly until a prompt is
  seen, and then run

    stty -sane^J

  or

    reset


Subject: Why do articles without a Lines header appear empty?
From: Using nn-43

  This problem only shows up if you have header-lines set to a string
  that includes "L".  It is suspected that having the line count patch
  sets something that makes nn think there is a Lines header and then
  the header-string is telling it to display the Lines header but
  there isn't one and things get messed up.  --Gary Morris
  <[e-mail]>


Subject: How do I save my posts, followups and replies automatically?
From: Using nn-44

  In your nn init file, use the following lines:

    set news-record file
    set mail-record file

  to place posts and followups in one file and replies in another, or
  to put everything in a single file, use:

    set record file

  Replace "file" with the absolute path (~ == home directory ok) of
  your desired file.  All files are saved in mailbox format.  --Don
  Mullins <[e-mail]> [9.92]


Subject: How can I change how my real name appears?
From: Using nn-45

  On BSD Unix systems, you can run the command chfn(1) to change
  your real name.  If you don't want to do this, or can't, please
  see "How can I update my mail headers?"  [9.92]


Subject: ! How can I customize my mail headers for mail and posting?
From: Using nn-46

  Headers can be modified or appended to by creating the variables
  mail-header (for replies) and news-header (for posts and followups)
  in the init file. You can include any headers that you want;
  separate multiple headers with semi-colons.  For example:

  set mail-header From: Joe Smith <[e-mail]>;Reply-To: [e-mail];
          Organization: CC University
  set news-header From: Joe Smith <[e-mail]>;Reply-To: [e-mail];
          Organization: CC University

  Note that these lines are split for readability--the value of these
  variables must appear on a single line.  In addition, do not insert a
  space between semi-colons and the next header.

  A Reply-To header is useful when your system generates either an
  unwanted or blatantly wrong return address for you.  If this header
  is present, then mailers use it instead of the system generated From
  header.

  A From header is useful when you want to change how your real name
  appears to nn readers, but you don't want to change it (or can't) on
  your system.  Warning: only do this if you're sure you can create a
  RFC 822 compliant From header.  [9.92]


Subject: + Can the article viewer/pager be changed?
From: Using nn-47

  No.  And for good reason.  There are too many commands in nn's pager
  that less, for example, doesn't know anything about.


Subject: Why does nnmaster stop collecting articles at the "junk" group?
From: nnmaster-50

  This can occur when you access news via NNTP.  Older nntp servers
  have a limitation of 4000 articles in a group, and junk may easily
  exceed this which makes the nntp server crash.

  To overcome the problem, edit the GROUPS file to add the X flag on
  the junk group, run nnmaster -G, and then nnmaster will ignore the
  junk group.  --Kim Storm <[e-mail]>

  In nntp_dir/common/conf.h, you can either increase MAX_GROUPS
  (normally 4096) or you can set #define DYNAMIC_ART_ARRAY (normally
  #undefed).  In either case, you obviously have to recompile nntp.

  But you can also add new groups on a regular basis, rather than
  letting junk build up to huge proportions.  --Mark Rawling
  <[e-mail]>


Subject: How do I cope with "Incomplete MASTER file"?
From: nnmaster-51

  See "Why isn't nnmaster working?"


Subject: Why isn't nnmaster working?
From: nnmaster-52

  After the make, did you remember to:

    Run ./inst <options> to install the files?
    Run ./inst INIT to initialize the database?

  Nnmaster mails error messages to the user who owns him (typically
  "news").  Check this mailbox for clues.

  If nnmaster -r or -D did not work, then neither did nnmaster -I (or
  ./inst INIT from the install directory).  Once you fix the
  permissions (see Paul's answer below), you need to rerun the
  initialization step.  --Stew Ellis <[e-mail]>

  If nnmaster dies and updates the Log file with "Incomplete MASTER
  file", it could be you're not running the latest version.  --David
  R. Hieb <[e-mail]>

  If, when you start your nnmaster, it just exits quietly, it could be
  that your permissions are incorrect.  Ensure that all directories in
  the nn library are owned by news (or the owner that you configured
  nn with).  --Paul Bickerstaff <[e-mail]>

  Make sure that there is a 'news' entry in passwd and group since
  nnmaster is run setuid/setgid to news and the files and directories
  that nnmaster needs to access are owned and writable by news.  --Jim
  Jagielski <[e-mail]> [9.92]

  Another problem could be in the way it is started.  Two related
  solutions are presented.

  /etc/rc exits before the child has had the chance to setpgrp().
  Putting "sleep 5" at the end of /etc/rc fixed it. --David B. Thomas
  <[e-mail]>

  Another similar solution involved inserting a "sleep 10" at the
  beginning of /etc/daemons/nnmaster.init file.
  --Jeffery Small <[e-mail]>

  It could be you're not running the latest version.  --David R. Hieb
  <[e-mail]>


Subject: Why do I get ".../MASTER not found"?
From: nnmaster-53

  The problem of the NN port to the Atari ST is, that you have to
  build an "active" file (NN format, not HERMES-like!!) in
  /usr/lib/news before running nnadmin -I.

  You can build this file by using the included "buildact.tos."
  Buildact.tos creates a UNIX-like /usr/lib/news/active from
  /usr/lib/hermes/active. [9.92]
