I'd like to see...
A way to send a news item to just one site, other than trying some
kind of uux trick.

Such a facility could be used to ask a question to all the users of
particular site.  For example, "What do you think of the CS program at..."

I suppose that you would need an additional argument to specify a site,
and the group that you specified would be the one used at the site.


Another thing I'd like to see is a -f option to news that would allow
a specification of a file name in /usr/spool/news.  This way, when
somebody says "See ucbvax.123", I could say:
       news -f ucbvax.123
Such a facility could also allow a list of names, e.g.,
       news -f site.*
so that all the news from a site could be seen.
