Not knowing if these have already been documented and added to wishlist(s),
a few niggles from the DIS package...

KA9Q/SMTP or PCelm

	Long subject lines, being folded/truncated.
	Otherwise PCelm crashes with memory violations before you have a 
	chance to take avoiding action when replying.

KA9Q/SMTP  MAILKILL to have any user i.e. *@node.demon.co.uk, which I would
        have thought existed in NNTP part of code already.

	Other wildcarding would be nice, but at least any user would help.

KA9Q/SMTP
	When setting tracing levels higher than start of session, setting them
	back has no effect, despite being reported as lower.

	Even if another batch or retries occur after resetting the tracing
	level.

SNEWS	One I have not yet got to the bottom of but is really irritating,
        is *SOMETIMES* when sending an email reply to a post, you edit the
	message then go to send (F7) and get a Share Violation. No direct
        action will restore your masterpiece as any re-edit or retry
        loses what you have typed :-(

	Sometimes I have been able to find temporary files, but not always.
        Reasons for this happening have not been found as it can happen on
        the nth post read or replied to (n=1 to infinity), first time
        machine switched on, or after a long day. Running other applications 
        or not. I have found no reason for it yet.

	Removing share or alternate boot files are not really an alternative
	for this node, due to other users..

Finger/Viewer
	Expand TAB characters so when doing finger status@gate.d.c.u it is
        all readable!

        I know that they should not be there, but sometimes some people put
        entries in quickly so forget about not using tab character.

PCELM	Some way of using Lines or other header line identification to avoid
	confusion between:-

		From user@node....
	and
		paragraph

		From jghjghjg nnnmn remainder of paragraph

	being split into two messages.

	New message identification should at least work out that if the next
	line starts with a valid header keyword it is a header otherwise still
	the same message body.

PCELM	Ability to set default directory for MIME and other file extractions
	Could not find one in the docs.

PCELM	Listing of folders has * or x* for list all folders starting with 'x'
	When like me you have a lot of folders, it would be _nice_ to have

	  b+ - list all folders starting with 'b' onwards

	Instead of going through all the letters of the alphabet with an '*'
	after them.

SNEWS	When setting local/read for postings made that either 

	a) automatic kill file entry is made to avoid downloading the post

	or

	b) some form of HISTORY update is made to recognise it as a duplicate.

	I know (b) is more difficult as the true message id is only generated
	by the newsserver, as well as article number.

The above are the collected ramblings of someone who has just had a reply
cause share violation, for the first time in two days.... :-(

	When in doubt smash keyboard to continue
