It would also be nice if rnews would stop if there is no more room on the
spool directory.  If there is not enough space, rnews just keeps spitting
out error messages and trashes all the news it is trying to process.
This may only occur with sites with space limitations, but it would be
a nice feature for us.

Thanks for listening.
