If you use the news reading capability in Pine to talk to a NNTP
server, then you need to have a NEWSRC. file in the PMDF_INIT:
directory, or a newsrc file with a non-default name as selected by your
newsrc-path Setup Config option. This file contains the
names of news groups you read. Pine updates it when you delete a
message in the news group. Deleting a message in news does not really
delete it, but simply makes the message unavailable to you when you
next read the associated news group. The format of this file is one
line per news group, with the lines having the format:
newsgroupname:[message,...] |
message is either a number or a range of
numbers (e.g., 1-3).
