[Xnews] Full Headers Won't Go Away
Blinky the Shark
I have to restart Xnews, or if opening and closing that group returns
the display to partial headers. But I'd rather just be able to hit h or
click the headers button. Anyone else seen this?

Hmmmmm. That must be Case 2, because I never use the filter button.

No, I can't get this to not work. Clicking "H" that is, works for me
every time, I've even tried to replicate what <m...@tadyatam.invalid>
suggested but can't get it to stuff up.

Big help *you* turned out to be. Can't even *break* something when you
need to. ;)

So BOTH methods fail when it fails?
ie, if you hit 'h' and it refuses to work, then you click the button and
it refuses also?

I scored a fix, tonight. No, not that kind. Shut up. :)
Check out my fix in a reply to Ohmster I just put up. Life is good. :)

I think I'm glad I tend to mouse a lot with Xnews. :)

If you mean the post:
Message-ID: <slrnfcvol4....@thurston.blinkynet.net>
Then it looks as though you found a means for toggling an expanded tree
in slrn. Good news.
Troy Piggins hack looks good too. In Xnews "T" seems to be a default
for this.

No, I meant a post where I talked about finding the bad card in my
Laserjet 5M network printer and getting it back up.

What if anything are you doing other than your normal use? I've used
xnews before and never had that problem, h key works great.
Ahhh I know! You've abused that poor keyboard do bad the keys are
failing. You abuser you! :)

Checked again, mine misbehaves the same way. I'm using XPN at the
moment but when I do use Xnews I tend to use the mouse as you mention.

Nothing usual that I've noticed, or I'd stop doing that. :)

That's it!
Blinky the Shark
I guess you've been abusing *your* keyboard, then, too, mmmmm? ;)
But note that I almost always toggle to full headers with h, not with
the mouse.

Now that you mention it I don't use the mouse for that. I usually have
what I want to see displayed so I don't use full headers often.

Reminds me of a job I had a few years ago. I was paid to break things".
The company was a leading company in the data recorder field. I was a QC
type person. When an update to models were ready to go from engineering
to manufatoring it came to me. When a new model model was produced it
came to me. Enrie and I had great fin trying to "break things". Too
bad the company was bought by a compeditor and run to ground.

My personal setup with any client that allows it is to normally only
show Subject, From, Newsgroups, Date and [the various headers that show
client name]. Anything else, and I open full headers.
Like when we're discussing headers. :)

I saw what I had typed a few words later and my haands are shaking so I
left thinking you'd catch it. lol

Add line count and that's what I use. Sometimes I open the full headers
if I want to check something. Full headers all time would be a waste of
screen space.

It depends if the great tail is requiring many fins before the fin
begins.
But that's a whole 'nuther sort of math.

So, you slipped the tail a fin, or four?
