Package: snownews
Version: 1.5.6.1-2.1
Severity: minor
The man page doesn't say how to turn off the colors.
Whatever I write in ~/.snownews/colors gets ignored and overwritten.
Oh, you should put README.colors into the man page.
And in each ~/.snownews/* put warnings about exactly what one can
change without it getting overwritten.
One only sees a "Do not change" buried deep elsewhere in the man page.
P.S., we see
README.Debian:7:b) auto-update check is disabled.
However if you don't say this on the manpage too, users will be going
nuts trying to turn it off.
Suggest to upstream that this be off by default, as that seems a habit
from Windows land, etc.
P.S., snownews said it couldn't parse
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~d/styles/rss2full.xsl .
As I am just a RSS beginner, I don't know who is to blame. Maybe me.
Also the 'i' key for 'info' should be usable at the top level screen
without having to first enter the page we want info about.
