I was playing with the NNTP feature, and it seems really good, except that I think it's missing a few things.

1. There seems to be no way to reset the "last fetched" message index, so that all messages will be re-fetched from the NNTP server from the beginning. This is necessary when you want to rebuild the forum from scratch.

2. It would be helpful to have automatic deletion of old posts after X number of days.

3. I ran into one case where it duplicated all the posts. I read the data from the server, made a few changes to the forum's configuration, read the data again, and suddenly there were two copies of each message. (This is actually what brought about my request for #1.)

4. Replies created in FUDforum and posted via NNTP don't seem to have all the headers necessary for them to get threaded by all news readers. I think you need to add the "References:" header.
