Waffle uses rnews to post, so it's not gonna be that easy to check this.

Luckily, there's a solution that's already workable: put either
a) the name of the entry in the feeds file, or
b) some random spooge, and you get

a) automatic protection, or
b) protection after you put /path=randomspooge in the feeds file.

I agree on this one.

Don't like this one.  If you want to read old messages, then use
NEW instead.  If I'm using RN, I only want to read the new
messages, and skip those newsgroups that don't have them.  Maybe
NEW needs to be more like RN.

Don't get this one.

I think the would be better suited to NEW not RN.

I'd like to see the W command ask for a file name instead of
just writing to a file named message.  At the local console this
can be a problem when you think you've hit enough :s.....

For a good time, type ? at the "Post here?" prompt.
