I see that'll end up listing all newsgroups I subscribe to, which I 
don't want to do right now.  Will there ever be a way to use/save/export 
plainer-style .newsrc (to view/edit in text editors and other NNTP 
newsreaders) only listing newsgroups one subscribes to?  That's what I'm 
used to since mid-1990s... also extremely time-consuming to have to go 
through lists of all Usenet & Gmane newsgroups, or even look at a page 
of maybe over 200 groups, just to save a .newsrc the way I used to have 
(in command-line NNTP newsreaders, Mozilla Thunderbird, and maybe 
orginally Forte Free Agent, which I don't use any those anymore except 
rarely slrn.) After switching from Thunderbird to Pan (to separate email 
& NNTP) I just no longer even know all the newsgroups I subscribe to 
because of Pan's .newsrc format non-useful to users.  I did ask about 
that last year but after a month or few of no replies, that's when Pan 
was always crashing for me...
