Hello All,

A couple of questions maybe some of the long-time JamNNTPd users can provide
answers to..

[Question/Situation #1]

Is there a way to post using multiple names on the same account? For example,
I/we use aliases on some othernets, and rather than setting up a completely new
account it would be nice to be able to switch between usernames easily.

Golded has such a feature where you can do something like so:

GROUP A
USERNAME Nicholas Boel
ENDGROUP

GROUP B
USERNAME MyNickname
ENDGROUP

I noticed you can use a comma in your jamnntpd.users file to separate names,
but I believe that is only for receiving and possibly sending netmail, and
further comments in that file seem to not allow for this as it only posts with
the first user specified:

# When a user posts a message, the first realname is used as the from name
# unless it contains wildcards. If the first realname contains wildcards or
# if no realnames are supplied, the from name is taken from the From: header
# line of the posted message.

[Question/Situation #2]

Is there any way to sort or somewhat "fix" or work around the seriously broken
threading in Fidonet?

At times I'll have to scroll back 100s of messages to find a broken thread with
one reply to it. It would be nice if somehow you could combine all matching
subjects into one thread, but since I've always heard the gripes about
threading in Fidonet, I should probably assume that this isn't possible?

That said, It may just be easier to disable threading altogether and just read
them as they're received. After using JamNNTPd for a bit now I'm realizing all
the complaints about broken threading in Fidonet is not just a myth! Yikes!
