Because the header details bar shows the message number, you may want to turn off the message number column altogether, so that there's more space for the rest of the columns.

|

| Check Spelling
|
|
|
| This option is clearly in the wrong place. It will be moved to the 'Program Settings' section!
|
|
|
| It controls whether spelling is checked when you post a message. Note that you can only enable this if you have installed the ISpell spell-checker system.

| No X-Faces
|
|
|
| X-Faces are the small, black & white picture that you see at the very top of some messages. Turn off their display with this option.
|
|
|
| You can add your own X-Face to your messages. See the Identities section for details

|
| No HTML Decoding
|
|
|
| Some people post messages containing the same text in two sections - a raw text section and an HTML section. Using HTML section allows your messages to use different fonts, colours, etc. like a web page.
|
|
|
| HTML messages are usually discouraged in USENET, because they waste resources by at least doubling the size of every message. In addition, they expose your computer to the risk of catching viruses etc.
|
|
|
| XanaNews does not let you post HTML messages, but it will display them if it finds them. Use this option to completely turn of the display of the HTML part of these messages.

| Wrap Lines at 'n' Characters
|
|
|
| Use this option to control how XanaNews wraps messages when displaying them in the message pane.
