If you try a classic newsreader (as slrn, mozilla, etc.), it is always
long the first time, when you get the groups list. This why I had added
subscribtion. But I find that IMAP proxying is too slow, and I have
planned to replace it and store .newsrc in a database (see
troll/docs/TODO, second point). I'd like to use the PEAR NNTP package.

However, I don't have as much time as I'd like, and I've not hacked
Troll for a while... but I'm glad to see interest again for this
project.
