Hello,

if someone has never been reading news and wants to start
reading news within emacs (running under SunOS4.1.3) then
he is asked for every newsgroup whether to subscribe it or not.
The only choice of possible answers seems to be yes or no.

I cannot believe that in case of thousands of newsgroups
it shouldn't be possible to say "Now I have all I want,
let me quit now", a behaviour like trn.

Am I wrong or am I missing something?


Thanks in advance
and
Greetings
