Fixed.

Hmm... I don't really think I would like this, personally... I 
specifically disabeled the short a.c.o.l.installation notation  in the 
subscribe editor because, for large lists, it is hard to keep an 
overview of the hierarchy... but anyway, made it a configuration option 
(though initially disabled).

The new patch also does reconnecting. INN seems to cut off connections 
after 10 seconds unless any command has been issued, so I made connect 
do some nonsense command to prevent INN from disconnecting us. I agree 
it's ugly, but it would make sense to me...
