I would appreciate to be able to re-organize subscribed newsgroups belonging to
specific news-server (drag & drop the newsgroup to a different position). Now,
the newsgroups are ordered according the time, when they have been subscribed
(latest subscribed are most down on the list). On the suppor-tforums.novell.com,
for example, there are more than 100 newsgroups. Normally, I am subscribing only
a few of them, but sometimes I need to subscribe another newsgroup there and
then there is no way to move the newly-subscribed newsgroup to some similar
newsgroups, which I have subscribed before.

In other words, I would like to be able to see the newsgroups names in a similar
way as normal bookmarks - to be able to re-arrange and rename them, maybe also
separate them by separators.

The original bug gives a workaround to this (you can manually edit the
newsgroups file.
