statnews [OPTIONS] NEWSGROUPDESCRIPTION
The statnews command get some useful statistics out of a newsgroup. It displays things like how many articles each author posted, how many characters was written, how many lines were quoted, how many articles belong to each thread, the number of messages/characters per day, the average message length, and so on.OPTIONS
- --capitalize(*)
- Whether to capitalize the name of both the sender and the receiver of each message (default is "--capitalize": yes). This option is useful to collect "AUTHOR" together with "author", "Author", and "AuThor".
- --dotted(*)
- Whether to translate "." to "/" in NEWSGROUP (default is "--nodotted": does translate). This option may be useful if your system stores each newsgroup in a dedicate directory (e.g., news.useless.group) instead that by hierarchy (e.g., news/useless/group), or if your system has a news archive stored this way.

- Set the date statistics start from (DATE format is "dd/mm/yyyy", GMT).
- --help
- Display the help summary.
- --spooldir=SPOOLDIR

Options may be conveniently abbreviated and prefixed by ``-'' instead of ``--''; the ``='' may be omitted or substituted with one or more blanks.
Options listed with (*) may be negated by adding the prefix "no" in front of them (e.g., "--dotted" => "--nodotted").
