This writes the contents of a group or subject list window to a tab-delimited text file. The file creator and default save-to folder are the same as for saving article files. Note that, in general, the data written to the file is slightly different from that displayed in the window. Group lists will always have four columns of data: the low message number (never shown in the window), the high message number (ditto), the unread count (only shown in user group windows), and the group name. For user group windows, none of the columns will be empty. Other group list windows, such as the full group list, the columns other than the group name column will be empty. The same format is used for all types of group windows to make comparisons and automated processing easier. For subject windows, all the available article information will be listed, even if it's not shown in the window (because, for example, "Use XOVER" is enabled but "Show lines" is disabled). However, some information (the number of articles in a thread, for example) is not written to the file. Again, the format will be the same for all subject windows, with empty columns used for unavailable data. For both kinds of lists, the order of the items in the export file is the same as that shown in thw window. Also, for subject windows, the exported file will only show the first article in a thread unless that thread is expanded. 33) Added support for decoding MIME encoded (per RFC 1522) headers. Headers encoded according to RFC 1522 are now always decoded in article windows, and optionally decoded in subject windows. For the latter there's a new preference to enable or disable decoding of MIME headers (since decoding takes time and may therefore cause subject windows to open more slowly). This option has also been added to the Subject Options in the Newsgroup Settings dialog, so MIME header decoding can be enabled or disabled on a newsgroup-by-newsgroup basis. 34) Added support for Frontier Menu Sharing. *-*-*-* Special thanks to John Norstad for all his hard work on original NewsWatcher. YA-NewsWatcher would not be possible without the complete and sturdy foundation offered by original NewsWatcher.

In original NewsWatcher, only articles that were opened had any cross-posts also marked as read. Now this also occurs when an article is saved to a file (including …
