What's selected in the folder list is the news server I supplied, as
expected, and in the list of news groups only the groups to which I'm
subscribed are bolded. Selecting 'Subscribed only' shows only those news
groups to which I'm currently subscribed. It's this that doesn't work as I'd
expect:
name of every news group -- no server just uses default
Try this, if you would please, Paul: go to the news group list for one of
your news servers, and double-click on a news group to which you are not
now, and never have been, subscribed (OK, if you insist...go ahead and see
what's in that warez group <G>). Maybe look at a message or two--I don't
know if that step is necessary, or if just opening the news group's window
is sufficient.
Now try the above script specifying that news server--do you see the news
group you just viewed in the list? If not, then something is screwy on my
system. If you do, then either this is a bug or a feature; I'm not sure
which.
