3.1.1.8 Configure Article
Customize how WinVN retrieves and displays articles from your News Server.
Wrap article text to...
If checked, and a number is specified here, WinVN will wrap article text during retrieval to this number of characters. This is useful when retrieving articles posted by people who have written their article with very long lines, or (as is sometimes the case due to misconfigured posting software) their article has ended up all on one line with no linebreaks). Note that this will only affect newly retrieved articles, as the lines are wrapped during article retrieval.
Trim headers during article retrieval
If checked, WinVN will trim article headers during retrieval, by ignoring any article headers not included in the following list: Newsgroups, From, Subject, Date, Reply-To, Distribution, Message-Id, Keywords, Summary. This will clean up incoming articles by removing potentially confusing headers like Path, and X-headers. Note that this will only affect newly retrieved articles, as the headers are trimmed during article retrieval.
New window for each article
If checked, WinVN will attempt to create a new article window for each article selected from the group article-list window. If this option is not checked, WinVN will reuse an existing article window to display newly-requested articles.
Scroll past headers after retrieval
If checked, WinVN will scroll the article view window past the headers upon completion of article retrieval.
Italicize quotes in article window
If checked, WinVN will italicize quoted text in the article view window. Quoted text is any line beginning with the '>' quote character. This is useful in distinguishing the reference text from the response, but may not be very readable with your selected font (See Configuring Fonts).
