Just put rn (rrn) and xrn up here, and having a blast.  Much better
interface than the mail I've been reading for years.  However, a
few questions for the cognoscenti:

(1) our default news server host doesn't supply a complete feed.
Is it possible to define another server to pick up the other
groups?  Since it would be further away, I wouldn't want to use
it except for those missing groups.

(2) rn would fill in the From:, Reply-To:, and Organization: fields
correctly when posting, but xrn persists in thinking my domain is
berkeley.edu and leaves the Organization field blank.  Now, I am
running it on another machine by running rsh <machine with xrn> -display
<this machine>:0, does that make any difference?  Can't see how.
