8. netnews Information (rec.arts.tv.soaps)

Hello! I've been a lurker and occasional poster on RATS for a few
months now. I've read the FAQ's and found some of the info quite
helpful (I now know what A&Dw/SOM means!) However, I use netnews
to read RATS and, as far as I know, I can't use a Kill file. I
can create something called an ignore file, but this just excludes
posts from certain people, not posts about certain subjects. What
does help is a function key called "SortSubj". (It's F14 on my
keyboard.) This sorts all the articles by subject and makes
it a lot easier to find the articles I want to read (mostly AMC, and
the ALL, ABC, etc. articles.)

Also on netnews I can search for articles I want to read by typing
a slash followed by a word that might appear in the subject heading
of articles that I would want to read, for example: /AMC.

I'm not sure if everyone using netnews is offered these features. I
would suggest checking the help screens to find out if you do have
the "SortSubj." function.

(Thanks to Diana Kiel for writing the above section)
