Description John Aldrich 2003-08-19 15:27:34 UTC
As mentioned on the list by Soren Boll Overgaard, the newsgroup names
should NOT be truncated when viewing the abbreviated name when there is no
suffix. i.e. top-level newsgroups should not be truncated. As an example,
news.Spamcop.net is a publicly-accessible private news server. The
top-level newsgroup is spamcop, no period, no suffix. All other newsgroups
are prefixed "spamcop." as in "spamcop.test". The example group
"spamcop.test" should be abbreviated "s.test" but the top-level group,
"spamcop" should not be abbreviated.
