# To enable news reading ability via Lynx, the environment variable NNTPSERVER # must be set so that it points to your site's NNTP server # (see Lynx Users Guide on environment variables). # Lynx respects RFC 1738 (http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/uri/rfc1738.txt) # and does not accept a host field in news URLs (use nntp: instead of news: for # the scheme if you wish to specify an NNTP host in a URL, as explained in the # RFC). If you have not set the variable externally, you can set it at run # time via this configuration file. It will not override an external setting. # Note that on VMS it is set as a process logical rather than symbol, and will # outlive the Lynx image. # The news reading facility in Lynx is quite limited. Lynx does not provide a # full featured news reader with elaborate error checking and safety features. # #NNTPSERVER:news.server.dom
# If LIST_NEWS_NUMBERS is set TRUE, Lynx will use an ordered list and include # the numbers of articles in news listings, instead of using an unordered # list. The default is defined in userdefs.h, and can be overridden here. # #LIST_NEWS_NUMBERS:FALSE
# If LIST_NEWS_DATES is set TRUE, Lynx will include the dates of articles in # news listings. The dates always are included in the articles, themselves. # The default is defined in userdefs.h, and can be overridden here. # #LIST_NEWS_DATES:FALSE
# NEWS_CHUNK_SIZE and NEWS_MAX_CHUNK regulate the chunking of news article # listings with inclusion of links for listing earlier and/or later articles. # The defaults are defined in HTNews.c as 30 and 40, respectively. If the # news group contains more than NEWS_MAX_CHUNK articles, they will be listed # in NEWS_CHUNK_SIZE chunks. You can change the defaults here, and/or on # the command line via -newschunksize=NUMBER and/or -newsmaxchunk=NUMBER # switches. Note that if the chunk size is increased, here or on the command # line, to a value greater than the current maximum, the maximum will be # increased to that number. Conversely, if the maximum is set to a number # less than the current chunk size, the chunk size will be reduced to that # number. Thus, you need use only one of the two switches on the command # line, based on the direction of intended change relative to the compilation # or configuration defaults. The compilation defaults ensure that there will # be at least 10 earlier articles before bothering to chunk and create a link # for earlier articles. # #NEWS_CHUNK_SIZE:30 #NEWS_MAX_CHUNK:40
# Set NEWS_POSTING to FALSE if you do not want to support posting to # news groups via Lynx. If left TRUE, Lynx will use its news gateway to # post new messages or followups to news groups, using the URL schemes # described in the "Supported URLs" section of the online 'h'elp. The # posts will be attempted via the nntp server specified in the URL, or # if none was specified, via the NNTPSERVER configuration or environment # variable. Links with these URLs for posting or sending followups are # created by the news gateway when reading group listings or articles # from nntp servers if the server indicates that it permits posting. # The compilation default set in userdefs.h can be changed here. If # the default is TRUE, posting can still be disallowed via the # -restrictions command line switch. # The posting facility in Lynx is quite limited. Lynx does not provide a # full featured news poster with elaborate error checking and safety features. # #NEWS_POSTING:TRUE
# LYNX_SIG_FILE defines the name of a file containing a signature which # can be appended to email messages and news postings or followups. The # user will be prompted whether to append it. It is sought in the home # directory. If it is in a subdirectory, begin it with a dot-slash # (e.g., ./lynx/.lynxsig). The definition is set in userdefs.h and can # be changed here. # #LYNX_SIG_FILE:.lynxsig
