Re: Long .newsrc file followup
It shouldn't be necessary to use the temporary file with several
hundred n's and a q to dump all news into /dev/null. At least according
to my documentation for readnews, the -p option prints all selected
articles to the standard output with no questions asked. This is
perfect for dumping articles to a printer or a null file.
