Description florian 2002-10-03 13:37:05 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

A great usability improvement would be if knode
supported a 3rd state of newsgroup subscription:
unsubscribed/on hold/subscribed.

The "on hold" newsgroups should still be present
in the newsgroup list so but should not fetch
headers and should be skipped when reading.

I often find that I am interested in some newsgroups
for some time. Some time later I simply haven't got
the time to read this group but would like to be
able to come back to it without unsubscribing/resubscribing.

The problem with resubscribing is that I tend to
forget exactly which newsgroups I once found to
be of interest and usually there are more than
one newsgroup covering some topic.
