1.4.3 Filtering New Groups mentions an "options" line I can put at the top of my .newsrc, but only offers an example of how to disable certain groups that way, and no links to anyplace where I can get more information about how this line works, what options (e.g. "-n") are available, and/or what they mean. IMO there should be a link to more complete documentation, or support for the option should be dropped.
