I would like to suggest an item for the 'wish list' for the next update of
Snews.
This is that the expiry days for each newsgroup be displayed on the Select
Newsgroups screen.
This would be particularly helpful
(a) as a warning before running Expire, and
(b) when using SnzPrune.
In the latter case, I set expire to -1 for newsgroups (such as the two to
which I am posting now) as there are items I wish to retain indefinitely.
I therefore Prune rather than Expire these ngs.
This is also useful with ngs such as news.groups, where if you are watching
progress of an RFD, you may wish to set expire to say 60 days, and also
hand-Prune.
With others where the Expiry Days are set to 3, 7 or whatever, subject to
(a) above, I let Expire do its work.
