Add support for 'tin', Thunderbird and force-adding of subreddits #16

Closed caliston closed 2 years ago

caliston commented 2 years ago

The 'tin' newsreader requires the server to advertise READER mode. It also can't select groups it hasn't previously seen in the LIST ACTIVE response, even if you type in their names with the 'subscribe pattern' command. For this reason this commit adds a command line option to add new subreddits to the database. It only needs doing once.

LIST ACTIVE support also seems to make Thunderbird work.

Tested with tin 2.4.6 and Thunderbird 91.7.0

Thanks, seems good to me! Let's merge it.
