Make group and keyword ID printing configurable

The following patch against 2.0.11 adds two new configuration variables to
config.pm to enable the group and keyword ID to be printed.

I find them distracting, because the numeric IDs are in different order
than the alphabetically sorted order.

The default here is to turn them off.

The ID can still be determined by examining the URL that clicking on the
group or keyword would lead to.

Best,
Blair

I suspect that the better answer is just to not print them. they don’t actually
convey much in the way of useful information. And we’re already heavy on config
variables :wink: but I do appreciate the patch.On Tue, Jan 08, 2002 at 11:06:21PM -0800, Blair Zajac wrote:
