NN: Controlling what you read first
==========================================
Trick No. 1
On your .nn subdirectory, create a file named init
For example, you may do so by using vi with this sequence:
vi .nn/init
In the 'init' file, put the names of the groups that you read most frequently,
listing them in the order in which you would like to read them. For
example, here are the first few lines of my own init file:
sequence
ru.newark.announce
ru.newark.general
ru.newark.andromeda
ru.newark.fdc
Notice the word 'sequence': that word is the command word which tells
nn what to do with the list of groups that follows.
Using this method, once I have read all the groups I want to keep up
with, I quit. I find this much more efficient than trying to mark
groups as subscribed or unsubscribed. That method takes hours with nn
and still has not worked properly for me.
