I have some wishes for goodies in the new version of that cupsy newsreader, RN.

1.  An option to display the article titles (after kill processing) when
entering a new newsgroup without having to type "=' as a separate step.

2.  In the avove display, show each subject title only once, possible indicate
the number of srticles with the same subject.

3.  After reading an article, Rn currently searches for a followup or something
related.  If I select an article with a "/string" command, it would be nice
for rn to continue that search automatically.

4.  An intelligent Subject grabber that would bypass the spurious
"Submission to mod.foo" subject that serves only to enhance the moderators'
egos and display something useful such as the "real" Subject line

5.  The readnews feature I miss above all is intelligent handling of digests.
(Maybe #5 could be handled by starting "less" on the raw article?)
