All right.

"rn" and "xrn" do NOT recognize ^L as a "Wait for a key" pagebreak unless it
is at the start of the line.  "nn" does.  I dunno about "GNUS" and "tin".
Sorry: I was being me-o-centric (homocentric means something else but
shouldn't) when I assumed all newsreaders did things the way mine did.

Nevertheless, there are a lot of us out there who still use rn; therefore,
_please_ put your control-L's at the START of the line if you want to make
a spoiler warning.
