DESCRIPTION
The statnews command get some useful statistics out of a newsgroup. It displays things
like how many articles each author posted, how many characters was written, how many lines
were quoted, how many articles belong to each thread, the number of messages/characters
per day, the average message length, and so on.
OPTIONS
--capitalize(*)
Whether to capitalize the name of both the sender and the receiver of each message
(default is "--capitalize": yes). This option is useful to collect "AUTHOR" together
with "author", "Author", and "AuThor".
--dotted(*)
Whether to translate "." to "/" in NEWSGROUP (default is "--nodotted": does
translate). This option may be useful if your system stores each newsgroup in a
dedicate directory (e.g., news.useless.group) instead that by hierarchy (e.g.,
news/useless/group), or if your system has a news archive stored this way.
--from=DATE

--to=DATE

--width=WIDTH

Options may be conveniently abbreviated and prefixed by "-" instead of "--"; the "=" may
be omitted or substituted with one or more blanks.
Options listed with (*) may be negated by adding the prefix "no" in front of them (e.g.,
"--dotted" => "--nodotted").
RETURN VALUE
The statnews command returns 0 on success and a positive integer on errors.
ENVIRONMENT

These options are interpreted first by the program and can be overridden by explicit

"setenv STATNEWS "--nocapital --width=132""
