Why, what good would this do?

Yes, I've tried tighten up the menus in 0.12 because 0.11.3's menus are
*huge* and full of redundancies and rarely-used options. In 0.12 the way
to get new headers in subscribed groups is:
ctrl-b (selects subscribed groups)
ctrl-a (downloads new headers for selected groups)
The keystrokes are (intentionally) similar, and IMO not tedious.

I've yet to find a cross-platform, embeddable database library that would be
necessary for doing something like this with reasonable performance. I'll
probably
look into using Samba's tdb for this in a post-1.0 Pan.
