| 37 Expire should clean up empty request/outgoing directories, so they will not | |

| 39 | |
| 40 Do not log program abortion due to SIGINT, if no inconsistency can occur, | |
| 41 (e.g. when calling 'noffle -d' to a pipe and next program terminates or | |
| 42 pressing ^C). | |
| 43 | |
| 44 Improve www page and documentation. | |
| 45 | |
| 46 Keeping the content list for several lock/unlock times could lead to | |
| 47 inconsistent results, because content list is maybe modified by | |
| 48 pseudo articles. Check this! | |
| 49 | |
| 50 Optimize NEWGROUPS (extra list?) | |
| 51 | |
| 52 Add noffle query option for checking all groups, if they are still | |
| 53 available at the remote server(s) and delete them otherwise. | |
| 54 | |
| 16 | 55 In online mode, retrieve full article header from remote server if client |
| 56 sends a HEAD command. Presently, only the header lines from the overview | |
| 57 are returned and the article is only retrieved on an ARTICLE or BODY command. | |
| 58 The reason for this was that some readers (like pine) retrieve the group | |
| 59 overview by sending lots of HEAD commands and their performance would badly | |
| 60 suffer. On the other hand, some readers (like slrn) cache the header from | |
| 61 a HEAD command, even if a following ARTICLE command gets more header lines, | |
| 62 so that not all header lines are available when reading news in online mode, | |
| 63 before the next start of the reader. But some header lines (e.g. Reply-To) | |
| 64 are important. | |
| 65 Maybe make the behaviour configurable. | |

| 72 | |
| 0 | 73 Get and execute cancel messages (read control.cancel, but use xpat to get |
| 74 only cancels for groups in fetchlist). Seems to be expensive (20000 headers | |
| 75 a day, takes the remote server to search through) |
