Subject: ^L and checking for new News articles

As most people are aware ^L in an ordinary folder (usually the INBOX) can 
be used to clear the screen and redraw it, and check for newly arrived 
messages in the process.

However when reading a News folder (newsgroup) ^L only clears the screen 
and redraws it: it doesn't appear to check for any newly arrived articles 
in the newsgroup.

This would actually be extremely useful, and also in keeping with its use 
in an ordinary folder.

Any comments?
