     _________________________________________________________________
   
   Q: What is the difference between NOFFLE and leafnode?
   
   A: NOFFLE uses less resources (disk space and bandwidth). Downloading
   groups in overview mode is several times faster, because it uses the
   XOVER command instead of HEAD. In addition, there is the
   quasi-transparent mode, when online, which allows to browse through
   groups and cache everything without subscribing.

   Q: I subscribe to groups, but get a "Retreiving failed" message for
   every requested article.
   
   A: Some news server do not allow retrieving articles by message-ID.
   You cannot use NOFFLE together with these servers presently.

   Q: I changed the server in the config files, but the new groups do not
   appear.
   
   A: You should run noffle --query groups again. If you want all old
   group information deleted, you should remove the file
   data/groupinfo.gdbm in the spool directory before.

   Q: The Emacs news reader GNUS hangs while getting active list from
   server.
   
   A: This is a known phenomena and I believe that it is a bug with GNUS,
   because the log files show correct handling of client commands by
   noffle.
