Subject: Displaying SIZE for messages in newsgroups

Does anyone know how to show the size (in bytes) of messages in a newsgroup ?
I have set index-format to "STATUS MSGNO FROM SIZE SUBJECT", but Pine only
shows the message size when I'm reading my incoming folders.

Is this a bug of some sort or are there some Pine flags which I'm currently
unaware of %-)

Thanks in advance,

- Robin

This is a limitation fo current versions of Pine.  Pine is not able to
determine message size accurately or quickly and therefore does not
display it...
