How do I edit the columns in the newsgroup view

Post by askance »

This seems like such a simple question, but I can't figure out how to edit, change, or rearrange the newsgroup columns (e.g. Subject | Author | Age | Lines | Size). Also, is there a way to change the Age Column so it displays absolute Date ?

You can change the size of the columns by dragging the line between column headers and rearrange by dragging the header title to a different place.
I don't think you can add or remove columns, but you can hide a column by making it as small as possible.
And the settings are saved per newsgroup view.
Also, is there a way to change the Age Column so it displays absolute Date ?
Menu->Edit->Show dates / age.

Is it possible to show just the Author's "nym" in the Author column?

I don't recognize any regular posters by their (fake) e-mail address, and resizing that column to be able to see the nym portion of the field eats up too much screen.
