[svn] * src/server.c: Whenever an article was read, all referenced articles were marked as INTERESTING and hence downloaded on the next fetch if in OVER or THREAD mode. This is contary to the docs and to my expectations.

Template: noffle/port
Type: string
_Default: 119
_Description: Please choose the port number noffle runs on:
 The default port number for NNTP is 119 (nntp). However, perhaps you want
 to run noffle alongside a normal NNTP server; in that case, choose another
 number (above 1024, I recommend 10119), and configure your news reader also
 to use that port number.

Template: noffle/server
Type: string
_Default: news
_Description: Which parent NNTP server do you want to use?
 Noffle expects to obtain its news from another NNTP server. Enter the name
 of that server here. If the server uses a non-standard port number for the
 NNTP connection, please fill that in here as 'servername:portnumber'.

Template: noffle/username
Type: string
_Description: What is your username when accessing your parent NNTP server?
 If you need to authenticate you may fill in your username on your parent
 NNTP server; if not, just leave this field blank.
 .
 This is not the preferred way of authentication, since your password will
 be transmitted in clear text, see README.Debian for more details.

Template: noffle/password
Type: password
_Description: What is your password when accessing your parent NNTP server?
 If you need to authenticate you may fill in your password on your parent
 NNTP server; if not, just leave this field blank. Warning: This password
 will be saved in plaintext in /etc/news/noffle.conf and in the debconf
 database!
 .
 This is not the preferred way of authentication, since your password will
 be transmitted in clear text, see README.Debian for more details.

Template: noffle/fetchmode
Type: select
_Choices: ppp, cron
_Description: How is noffle supposed to fetch the articles?
 If this is a dialup system, then noffle can be configured to fetch articles
 when the PPP connection comes online. This is done via scripts in
 /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ and /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/. If you have a permanent
 connection, noffle will assume it can always access the NNTP server and a
 cron job will do.

Template: noffle/maxfetch
Type: string
_Default: 300
_Description: Fetch how many articles by default?
 When noffle fetches articles, it will never fetch more than this amount; if
 there are more, the oldest are discarded.

Template: noffle/default-expire
Type: string
_Default: 14
_Description: What should the default expire time (in days) be?
 Noffle is configured to purge the local cache of articles older than a
 certain limit. This parameter configures the minimum age of articles to
 expire; this can be fine-tuned in /etc/news/noffle.conf if necessary.
 Enter '0' to disable it.
