Left the quoted text as-is to illustrate the point. It is a pain to
manually re-wrap even short quotes especially when there is a lot of
text you have to plough through.

I had a problem when I had over 4000 messages unread in several of the
newsgroups which I subscribe to. Having "7 30" as my expiration limits I
encountered "Not enough memory ..." messages every time I opened a
newsgroup and it carried over to other newsgroups which had less than
100 messages.

Sure wish there was a real 32-bit version so that I can run it under NT
with it's flat memory space.
