[ale] Expand newsgroup names in Mozilla Thunderbird

[scherrey at proteus-tech.com (Benjamin Scherrey)]

Alan,

    Thanx much for the help. Adding that line to prefs.js took care of 
it and I finally figured out what that little square box was up in the 
corner to add column headings. Thunderbird's pretty cool so far. I think 
I still prefer KMail but Tbird is great for Windows and I need linux & 
windows solutions.
